Prep the ingredients as above.
Place onions and cubanelle/anaheim peppers in the workbowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until coarsely chopped.
With the motor running, add the remaining ingredients one at a time through the feed tube and process until smooth. Season with about 2 tsp salt. Transfer what you don’t use to the freezer, where it will keep for quite a while. You want to have about ¼-½ cup per portion used in the meal.
