Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium red chili peppers (e.g., Fresno, cayenne, or red jalapeños)
- 1 medium yellow bell pepper
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Wash and dry the red chili peppers and yellow bell pepper. Remove the stems and seeds from the peppers for a milder heat, or leave some seeds in for a spicier result.
Roughly chop the chili peppers, yellow bell pepper, and garlic cloves. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped peppers and garlic, stirring occasionally, and cook for 5–7 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the white vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water to the saucepan. Stir well and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the contents to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil while blending to achieve a silky texture.
Taste the condiment and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding a pinch more salt or honey to balance the flavors.
Pour the finished condiment into a clean, airtight jar or bottle. Let it cool completely before storing in the fridge. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
Serve as a spicy topping or dip for your favorite foods and enjoy!
