Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Habanero peppers
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 small Yellow onion
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Water
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the habanero peppers. For less heat, you can remove the seeds and membranes, but for a true fiery sauce, leave them intact. Be sure to wear gloves to protect your skin when handling the peppers.
2. Peel and chop the carrot, onion, and garlic into small, manageable chunks.
3. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped carrot, onion, and garlic and sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
4. Add the habanero peppers to the saucepan and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently.
5. Pour in the white vinegar and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
6. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly. Carefully transfer to a blender or food processor.
7. Add the lime juice and salt to the blender. Blend the mixture on high until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
8. Once blended, carefully pour the hot sauce into sterilized glass bottles or jars. Allow it to cool completely before sealing and storing in the refrigerator.
9. Let the sauce rest for at least 24 hours in the fridge to allow the flavors to fully develop. Enjoy your Essential Habanero Hot Sauce on tacos, eggs, grilled meats, or any dish that needs a kick of heat!
