QUICK CHILE SAUCE
This sauce is a fridge staple you can spoon over anything savory, from cooked vegetables or eggs, to salads, grains, meat and fish. It's spicy but not overtly so. You can bolster the heat by adding dried chile flakes or reduce it by using fewer fresh chiles. (Look for fresh red chiles as they amplify the color of the sauce.) You can add half a teaspoon of sugar, if you like, or make it your own by adding chopped garlic or ginger, and a handful of your favorite herb.

- Use a variety of chiles: Experiment with different types of chiles to achieve the desired level of heat. Some popular choices include jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros.
- Add some acidity: A little bit of acidity helps to balance out the heat of the chiles. You can add vinegar, lemon juice, or lime juice.
- Season to taste: Taste the sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed. Salt, pepper, and cumin are all good options.
