Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh red chile peppers
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Wash the red chile peppers thoroughly under running water, and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice off the stems from the peppers and roughly chop them into 2-3 pieces each (you may leave the seeds in for extra heat or remove them for a milder sauce).
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped red chile peppers, garlic cloves, white vinegar, water, salt, and sugar.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the peppers are softened.
Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the olive oil and blend on high speed until the sauce is smooth and velvety. Add more water if needed to achieve your desired consistency.
Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl to remove any solids, if a smoother texture is preferred.
Pour the strained sauce into a sterilized glass jar or bottle and let it cool completely before sealing with a lid.
Store the hot sauce in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Shake well before using, and enjoy on everything from tacos to scrambled eggs!
