QUICK CHILE SAUCE



Quick Chile Sauce image

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.

Provided by Samira

Categories     Condiment     DIYs

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound red chilies (choose a variety based on the heat level you'd prefer (check notes))
2 Tbsp salt
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 cup vinegar (I used apple cider vinegar)
Sugar, just a pinch to taste (OPTIONAL)

Steps:

  • First, wash the chili peppers, patting them dry with a little paper towel.
  • Then, cut off the stem ( green tops). It's best to wear gloves and avoid touching your face while dealing with the chilies!
  • Next, roughly chop the peppers, keeping the seeds. You don't need to be too precise with your chopping as everything will be blended.
  • Add the peppers and the rest of the ingredients to a food processor or blender and blitz into a sauce.Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as necessary.
  • Then, transfer the sauce to a sterilized jar and enjoy it immediately or store it in the fridge for longer-term storage.Optionally, you can reduce this sauce down to thicken it slightly over a hob. Read the recipe notes for more on that.
  • Store the homemade chili sauce in a glass jar (plastic will stain), for up to 1 month in the fridge and for up to four months in the freezer.If it begins to taste sour or moldy in any way (or has physical signs of mold), then discard it.Also, you may be able to hot water bath can this red chili sauce (and then store it for months in the fridge) - however, it depends on its' pH balance and using the correct method. If this is something you'd like to do, it's best to consult reputable sources regarding canning items.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they have a low water content and are less likely to make the sauce watery.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on a grill.
  • 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.

Conclusion:

Chile sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little experimentation, you can create a delicious and unique chile sauce that will add flavor to your favorite meals.
