Method

Preparation

1

Prepare the Habaneros

Wearing gloves, remove the stems from the habanero peppers and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the seeds if you prefer a milder sauce.

2

Roast the Garlic

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the whole garlic cloves in a small piece of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive oil, and wrap tightly. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until soft.

Cooking

3

Sauté the Habaneros

In a medium skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the prepared habanero peppers and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they start to soften.

4

Blend the Sauce

Add the roasted garlic (remove from foil), lime juice, honey, and salt to the skillet with the sautéed habaneros. Blend everything together using an immersion blender or transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.

Serving

5

Serve the Sauce

Transfer the blended habanero sauce to a bowl. Serve with tortilla chips, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro on top.
