Coarsely puree the garlic, onion, chives, bell peppers, celery, chili peppers, herbs and lime juice in a food processor or pound to a paste with a mortar and pestle. Correct the seasoning, adding salt and pepper or lime juice to taste. The mixture should be very flavorful. Store in a glass jar with a non-reactive lid. Refrigerated, it will keep for several weeks, but the sooner you use it, the better it will taste. Makes 2_1/2 cups -- enough for 2 pounds of meat, chicken or seafood.
