Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 200g fresh chillies, stems removed
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
  • 120ml white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash and remove the stems from the chillies. Peel the garlic cloves to ensure a smooth blend and balanced flavor.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Add the chillies, garlic, smoked paprika, vinegar, salt, and olive oil into a blender. Blend until you achieve a smooth, even consistency, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Simmer the Sauce: Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan. Heat it over medium-low heat and let it simmer gently, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Cool and Store: Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool. Transfer it to a sterilized jar or bottle. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks to maintain freshness and flavor.

Notes

  • Adjust the number of chillies depending on your preferred spice level.
  • For a sweeter sauce, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or sugar during blending.
  • Use smoked paprika to give the sauce its characteristic smoky flavor; regular paprika will alter the taste significantly.
  • Wear gloves when handling fresh chillies to avoid skin irritation.
  • This sauce pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or as a spicy dip.
