1
Prepare the Habaneros
Wearing gloves, remove the stems from the habanero peppers. Cut them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds for a milder sauce or leave them in for extra heat.
2
Mince the Garlic
Peel the garlic cloves and finely mince them using a knife or a garlic press.
3
Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the prepared habaneros, minced garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.
4
Add Cilantro
Add the fresh cilantro to the blender and pulse a few times to mix it in, leaving some texture.
5
Taste and Adjust
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lime juice, or olive oil to your preference.
6
Serve or Store
Transfer the habanero sauce to a clean jar. It can be served immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
