Note

For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and white membranes from the green peppers before chopping.

This sauce tastes best after sitting in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight, as the flavors deepen and the raw onion bite softens.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

You can substitute red bell peppers for green if you prefer a sweeter flavor profile.
