  3. When good and charred, steam them for 10 minutes in a covered dish or a paper bag rolled shut to hold in the steam.

  5. Slice in half and remove the seeds and stems then dice them.

  3. Measure lime juice, olive oil, cilantro, sea salt, and garlic, then put everything in the food processor and blend until desired texture.
