Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Sauté onion in oil for 5 minutes or so, stirring frequently, until it starts to soften. We don't want any color on the onion. Add the garlic and sauté for just a minute or two and turn off the heat.
  2. Add the onion and garlic to a blender with the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth.
  3. For a smoother hot sauce, strain it into your empty bottle, otherwise, pour the hot sauce into a funnel in your empty bottle.
  4. Wait for hot sauce to come to room temperature, then refrigerate. Store hot sauce in refrigerator and use within 1-2 weeks. Enjoy!
