Method

Making the Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ghost Peppers

    Wearing gloves, carefully chop the ghost peppers and remove the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Base

    In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic cloves, sautéing until they are translucent and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Tomatoes

    Add the tomatoes to the saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes break down.

  4. 4

    Incorporate Ghost Peppers

    Stir in the chopped ghost peppers, salt, sugar, and lime juice. Simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Blend the Sauce

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly. Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. If desired, feel free to add cilantro and jalapeño at this stage for added flavor.

  6. 6

    Store the Sauce

    Pour the blended sauce into a clean jar or container. Allow it to cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
