Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 piece Scotch bonnet pepper (or hot chili pepper)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and roughly chop them for easier blending.
Remove the seeds and stem from the scotch bonnet pepper for a milder heat level, or leave them in for extra spice if preferred. Be cautious when handling hot peppers and wash your hands thoroughly afterward.
In a blender or food processor, combine garlic, white vinegar, lime juice, cilantro, scotch bonnet pepper, salt, sugar, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it forms a smooth, slightly thick sauce. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.
Taste the sauce and adjust for salt, lime juice, or sugar if necessary to balance the flavors according to your preference.
Transfer the sauce into a clean, airtight glass jar or container.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Serve as a condiment for meats, seafood, fried snacks, or any dish that could use a flavorful, zesty kick.
