Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 to 8 hot chilies depending on the heat (see LC Note above, fresh
  • 2 garlic minced, cloves
  • lemon juice of 1
  • salt pinch
  • 1/2 to 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil depending on how thin you want it

Instructions

  1. Coarsely chop the peppers and discard stems.
  2. Place the chilis and their seeds, the garlic, lemon juice, salt, and as much of the oil as you wish in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and purée. Pour the mixture into a small glass jar and let steep for several days in the fridge.
  3. You can strain the mixture and return it to jar, but I like mine with a bit of texture. Sauce will keep in the refrigerator for 1 month.
