Roasted Red Jalapeno Pepper Hot Sauce Recipe
Description
The Roasted Red Jalapeno Pepper Hot Sauce combines roasted jalapenos, onion, and garlic simmered with tomato sauce and vinegar-based acidity. Roasting the halved jalapenos until their skins blister deepens their flavor and softens them, making peeling straightforward while mellowing the heat slightly. Cooking the onions and garlic in oil before blending brings out sweetness and rounds the sharpness.
The tomato sauce contributes thickness and a mild tanginess, complemented by red wine vinegar and a splash of lemon juice to brighten and preserve the sauce. Salt is adjusted to enhance all the flavors. The sauce is processed until smooth, creating a balanced condiment suitable for adding heat and flavor without overwhelming spiciness.
This sauce is well-suited as a tabletop addition to dishes that benefit from a fresh, moderately spicy kick. It can be used alongside grilled meats, tacos, or as a marinade base. The thickness makes it hold well on foods, while the acidity keeps it lively.
The original notes highlight that the sauce thickness can be thinned by adding extra vinegar, lemon juice, tomato juice, or water to reach the desired consistency. The medium heat level allows for versatility without overpowering milder dishes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound jalapeno pepper red
- 1 yellow onion chopped (about 1 cup, medium
- 5 cloves garlic chopped
- 8 ounces tomato sauce

- Remove from heat and cover with aluminum foil or a towel to allow them to steam. Peel off the skins and discard.
- Set the peppers into a food processor.
- Heat a small pan to medium heat and add chopped onion and garlic with a splash of olive oil. Cook about 5 minutes to soften.
- Add all remaining ingredients and heat through. Into the food processor they go.
- Process the sauce until smooth. You can also use a food mill if you’d like your sauce to be thick and consistent.

Notes
