    2. * From label: red & yellow bells, water, extra virgin olive oil (insignificant fat), garlic, citric acid, salt
    3. Separate garlic cloves, leaving some skin, and roast in warm broiler. (If using fresh roasted chiles instead of a jar, start chiles now too.) Turn as needed, some blackening should occur.
    4. Cut off stems of artichokes, and remove bottom leaves. Trim about 1/2 inch from tops of artichokes; trim leaves, if you like. Put in steamer or possibly large covered pan and cooked about 45 minutes till center leaves pull out easily and are tender. Add in the Mexican oregano and cumin seed to the herb pan or possibly water.
    5. When garlic is done remove skin and trim if needed, quarter it and add in all ingredients, except the artichokes, oregano, cumin and lemon juice; to a processor and pulse till blended but has some texture. Add in about 1/2 the lemon juice as you pulse. Adjust with juice for a nice, thick paste. Put into serving bowl, cover and set aside while artichokes cook.
    6. Serving Ideas : Serve with chicken curry. The sauce would also be great on fish.
    7. Description:"Lowfat low labor side dish"
    8. NOTES : Prepare the sauce first. Then the artichokes can cook while making any other dishes.
