Ingredients
- 4 to 8 fresh hot chilis depending on the heat (see LC Note above)
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- Juice of 1 lemon
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 to 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil depending on how thin you want it
Instructions
- Coarsely chop the peppers and discard stems.
- 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.
- 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.
