Instructions

Place garlic and chiles in bowl of a food processor and pulse or process until finely chopped.
Add remaining ingredients and pulse several times to create a coarse, thick paste. I like it slightly chunky in texture, but feel free to puree until a smoother paste develops if preferred.
Store in an airtight jar in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Add more or less chiles for preferred spiciness. Serve over grilled meats, spooned over fresh cut tomatoes, hummus or whatever you like for an added kick of flavor.

Notes

Add more or less chiles for preferred heat. This is meant to be spicy!
Makes about ⅔ cup total.

I add a thin layer of olive oil on top to keep fresh if not using right away.
