Garlic Habanero Hot Sauce
Made using habanero peppers and garlic, this simple garlic Habanero hot sauce recipe is an absolute must try if you love fiery and spicy food!
Ingredients
- 500 g habanero peppers
- ¼ cup vinegar
- ¼ cup garlic
- 3 tablespoon brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ tablespoon Thai fish sauce
- water as needed
Instructions
- De-seed and devein the habanero peppers and roughly chop or slice them up.
- In a food processor, add the peppers, garlic, salt, sugar, fish sauce and water and blend until smooth.
- Pass this paste through a fine mesh sieve or a strainer to get rid of the bigger chunks.
- Cook it over medium heat in a large pot for 5 minutes or until the mixture simmers. Let it cool down, then add in the vinegar. Pour into jars and serve.
Notes
- If you don’t have vinegar you can add some lime juice into the mix to get in the acidic notes.
- If you don’t have brown sugar, you can totally use regular white sugar to add sweetness to the sauce.
- I would also recommend adding some olive oil into the mix to keep the ingredients from burning, and avoid cooking the sauce on high heat.
- Remember to bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes or more, until the sauce thickens and the peppers and other ingredients soften.
