Preparation
1
Start by sanitizing the jar by placing them in hot boiling water, and air dry before using.
2
Wash and pat dry the chilies.
3
Cut them lengthwise and remove only the pith (the white part on top of the chile), leaving the seeds.
4
Pulse the chilies and garlic cloves in a food processor until they release their juices and become finely chopped.
5
In a small bowl, add the processed chilies, sprinkle them with the salt, and mix; let it set for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, strain the chilies to remove excess water.
6
In the same bowl, add the vinegar, red chili pepper, and cumin seeds. Mix well.

Transfer the mixture to the sanitized jar and drizzle with olive oil. Seal the jar and store it in the fridge! It's ready to use right away.
