Ingredients

  • 1 lb chili peppers e.g. cayenne peppers
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 4 Tbsp sunflower oil
  • 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 Tbsp coriander seeds
  • 1 Tbsp dill seeds
  • 1 Tbsp corn flour optional, makes a thicker pepper sauce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For a milder version of the sauce, cut off the stems, slice the peppers in half, remove seeds and membranes, and cut the peppers into 2-inch pieces. For a hotter version, remove the stems and cut the peppers into 2-inch pieces.
  2. Toast the coriander and dill seeds in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Remove once the seeds become aromatic. Grind in a pepper mill or a mortar.
  3. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender and pulse until a smooth consistency is achieved.
  4. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Let simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the sauce from the heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
  6. Transfer the sauce into a storage container or a bottle. Seal tightly. Let the sauce cool down to room temperature, then refrigerate. The sauce will store in the fridge for several months.

Notes

  • If you want the sauce less thick, you can add more sunflower oil and/or white wine vinegar. But, personally, I think the consistency is perfect as is.
