Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 6

30 habanero peppers - dehydrated peppers are good (dehydrated peppers are good, too)
1 cup white vinegar
Juice from 1 lemon (lime juice is good, too)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (add more for a more pronounced cilantro flavor)
½ teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • If using dehydrated habanero peppers, set them into a bowl of very hot water and let them steep for 30 minutes to soften. If using fresh, stem and chop the habanero peppers. Place them into a food processor.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and process until well chopped and combined.
  • Add to a pot and bring to a quick boil. Watch out for the fumes!
  • Reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes.
  • Remove from heat, cool. At this point, you can strain it through a sieve or toss it back into the food processor for a bit more blending.
  • Pour into a bottle and use it all up!

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 medium cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 packed cups fresh cilantro (about 2 bunches, mostly leaves but skinny stems are ok)
4 medium jalapeños, seeds removed but reserved
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, more to taste
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Place the garlic in your food processor and process until the garlic is broken into tiny pieces.
  • Add the cilantro, jalapeño (keep the seeds in case you want to make the sauce more spicy after tasting), salt, cardamom, cumin and red pepper flakes. Process until the mixture is all mixed together and very finely chopped.
  • While running the food processor, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. Scrape down the sides and blend until the sauce is mostly smooth.
  • Adjust to taste-for a spicier sauce, add the jalapeño seeds or additional red pepper flakes (1/4 teaspoon at a time) and blend again. Too bitter? You can add more salt or give the flavors some time to mellow. This sauce's flavor transforms with time, so if it's too spicy or you just don't love it right off the bat, let it chill in the fridge and try it again in an hour.
