Preheat oven to 450°F. Put peppers on a baking sheet and roast until very dark and
skin is coming away from the pepper, about 30 minutes. Put roasted peppers into
a mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap in order for the skins to loosen, about
15 minutes.
Insert the blade assembly in the prep bowl. Put the onion, garlic, and jalapeño into
the prep bowl and pulse approximately 8 times to a rough chop.
Peel the cooled peppers, discarding all skin, seeds, and stems. Place in prep bowl
and pulse 6 times to chop.
Place a 3½ - quart sauté pan over medium heat and add the butter. Add the
onion, garlic and jalapeño mixture and sauté for about 4–5 minutes and soft. Stir
in chopped chiles and cook for another minute. Add flour and stir and cook for 2
minutes. Add stock and bring to a boil. Add salt and reduce to a simmer for about
25 minutes. Insert the blender into the saucepan, making sure the protective guard
is submerged. Blend, using an up-and-down motion until ingredients are well
combined, about 40–60 seconds, until the sauce reaches desired consistency.
