Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Dice the red onion and Roma tomato into small pieces. Be sure to remove the seeds from the tomato before dicing.

Step 2
Heat the avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion to the pan. Sauté the onions until they become translucent, which usually takes about 2 to 3 minutes.

Step 3
Add the diced Roma tomato to the skillet. Continue to cook the mixture until the tomato softens, stirring occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

Step 4
Season the mixture with the salt, black pepper, and a pinch of rosemary. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5
While the tomato and onion mixture is cooking, carefully cut the top off the jalapeño pepper and remove the seeds and inner membranes with a spoon or a knife. Be sure to wear gloves while handling the jalapeño to avoid any potential skin irritation.

Step 6
Once the tomato and onion mixture is ready, use a small spoon to carefully stuff the jalapeño pepper with it. Fill the pepper until it's packed tightly, but be careful not to overstuff it.

Step 7
Once the jalapeño pepper is filled, place it in the skillet over low heat. Cover the skillet and let the stuffed pepper cook for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the pepper is tender and cooked through.

Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat. Allow the stuffed pepper to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Sinig Karya as a delicious appetizer or a side dish to your main course.
