Preparation

Step 1

Cut onion into 1/2-inch-thick rounds, then separate into rings.

Make 6 long cuts in each chile from tip to 1/4 inch from stem.

Cook onion in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes.

Add chiles and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion and chiles are tender, 15 to 17 minutes.

Season with salt.

COOKS NOTE:
Jalapeno and onion saute can be made 1 day ahead and chilled. Reheat before serving.
