Time 40m

Yield 1 cup, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 kg fresh hot chili pepper (preferably a mix of red, green yellow, mostly yellow scotch bonnets)
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons garlic, finely chopped (approximately 2-3 pegs (or more)
3 tablespoons fresh finely chopped pawpaw, unripe green (papaya)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup malt vinegar

Steps:

  • Peel and finely chop all vegetables.
  • Stem and seed peppers--plastic gloves should be worn as the oil from the peppers has been known to blister skin.
  • Combine all ingredients in small/medium pot, stirring constantly. Bring to boil over high heat and cook briefly and briskly for 1 minute (until onion is transparent and peppers soft and limp).
  • Add more vinegar if needed.
  • Pour contents into blender (hand held can also be used).
  • Blend at high speed until pulverised (some prefer pureed).
  • Cool at room temperature.
  • Pour into cleaned boiled and sterilized jar only.
