- Cuisine
- Mexican
Ingredients
- 6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 1/2 cup peeled, roughly chopped carrot (you’ll need 1 medium carrot)
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped white onion (you’ll need about half of a small onion)
- 12 medium (about 5 ounces) fresh orange habanero chiles, stemmed
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar

Steps

Roast the garlic in a skillet over medium heat, turning regularly until soft and blackened in spots, 10 to 15 minutes. Cook and peel.

In a small saucepan combine the carrot, onion and habaneros with the vinegar and 1 cup of water. Partially cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the carrots are thoroughly tender, about 10 minutes. Pour into a blender jar and add the roasted garlic, salt and sugar. Loosely cover and blend until smooth. Thin with a little additional water if you think your hot sauce is too thick. Taste and season with additional salt if you think necessary.

Pour into jars or bottles and store in the refrigerator until you’re ready to add some dazzle to a dish.
