Ingredients
- 3 pieces Habanero peppers
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 2 tablespoons White vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Wear gloves and carefully remove the stems from the habanero peppers. Slice them in half and remove the seeds if you want to reduce the heat.
Peel the garlic cloves.
In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and habanero peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the garlic is golden and fragrant. Remove from heat.
In a blender or food processor, combine the sautéed garlic and peppers, fresh mint leaves, lime juice, vinegar, honey, salt, water, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or honey for balance.
Pour the sauce into a sterilized jar or container and let it cool completely before sealing.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve as a dip, drizzle, or marinade as desired.
