Ingredients

  • 3 cups Hot Peppers whole
  • 1/4 cup red bell pepper or any colored pepper
  • 6 cloves garlic whole
  • 1 tablespoon coarse salt Kosher or Sea salt (see note below)
  • 2 Tablespoons vinegar White or white balsamic
  • 1/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
  • 1/3 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1/4 cup mint leaves
Drizzle
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil extra virgin

Notes

  • Start with quality peppers for the utmost flavor. Also keep in mind the level of heat, not just the flavor of the peppers.
  • Use a sweet bell pepper to offset the heat from the hot peppers.
  • The amount of vinegar is just to create a slight sauce and the flavor of vinegar is not meant to be dominating.
  • The hot sauce is meant to be chunky, so don't over process it.
  • Adding a thin layer of oil over the top of the sauce helps preserve the sauce.
  • Store the sauce in your fridge for up to 3 months.
  • For the Salt--to use the full tablespoon of coarse salt, make sure you're using Kosher or Sea salt. If you're using table salt, then drop the salt 1 teaspoon - 1/12 teaspoon at most.
