1

Roast the Anaheim and serrano chiles on a grill or under a broiler until the skins are nicely charred on all sides. Place the chiles in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap until cool enough to handle. Peel the skins and seed the Anaheim chiles.

2

While the chiles are cooling, toast the seeds until fragrant. Cool, then grind to a powder.

3

In a food processor, pulse the cilantro, garlic and spices until coarsely chopped. Add the chiles, pulsing until broken down but not pureed. Season with ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste, and stir in the olive oil.
