Homemade Hot Sauce Recipe
With so many people sitting with friends and family to watch the Superbowl at home this weekend, I thought it was a perfect time to share my favorite homemade hot sauce recipe.
A few tips: ALWAYS wear gloves when cleaning or handling hot peppers, and always wash your hands thoroughly afterwards.
Homemade hot sauce recipe
Ingredients:
4 cloves of minced garlic
1 cup of diced red onion
3 cups of diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 medium chili peppers
4 habanero peppers, seeded
1 cup of distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons white sugar
Directions:
1. Over medium heat in a large saucepan, heat oil and add the onion, chili peppers, habanero peppers and garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the onions begin to brown. Stir continuously.
2. Reduce heat. Add the vinegar, tomatoes, salt and sugar. Stir until the tomatoes break down. Roughly 6 minutes.
3. Place mixture in blender and blend until a puree is formed.
4. Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
5. Let mixture cool for an hour.
There you have it. Pretty simple and can be done in under an hour. This sauce is delicious on just about anything and for those that don’t like it too hot, serve it to them when they talk too much during the game.
