Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Peppers

    Remove the stems and seeds from the red chili peppers. If you prefer a milder sauce, you can reduce the number of peppers or remove some seeds.

  2. 2

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a blender or food processor, combine the red chili peppers, garlic cloves, olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, and sugar. Blend until smooth.

  3. 3

    Adjust Consistency

    If the sauce is too thick, add a little more olive oil or water until you reach your desired consistency.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the sauce and adjust salt, pepper, or sugar as needed to balance the flavors.

  5. 5

    Store the Sauce

    Transfer the sauce to a clean jar or bottle and store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
