Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces red chilies (fresh, medium-sized)
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 0.25 cups white vinegar
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups water
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Wash the red chilies thoroughly and roughly chop them. If desired, you can remove the seeds for a milder sauce.
Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic cloves and chopped chilies. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the white vinegar, sugar, salt, and water into the saucepan. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Lower the heat and let the mixture cook for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the ingredients don’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or use an immersion blender to purée it until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier texture, pulse the blender a few times instead of blending fully.
Pour the blended sauce into a sterilized glass jar or bottle. Let it cool completely before sealing tightly and refrigerating.
Allow the sauce to rest in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to let the flavors meld together, but it can be used immediately if desired.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks and enjoy with your favorite dishes or as a marinade!
