Ti Malice

Mince the garlic cloves finely and finely dice the hot pepper, removing seeds if a milder heat is preferred.

Combine the diced hot pepper, minced garlic, chopped onion, and chopped green onions in a medium mixing bowl.

Add the lime juice to the vegetable mixture and stir well to distribute the acid evenly.

Drizzle in the olive oil while stirring continuously to emulsify the ingredients and create a cohesive condiment.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the balance of heat, acidity, and seasoning as needed.

Let the ti malice sit for at least 5 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Stir once more before serving alongside grilled meats, rice dishes, or fried plantains.
