Carrot Habanero Hot Sauce Recipe

Recipe Overview:

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Course: Condiment
Cuisine: Fusion
Yield: Approximately 2 cups
Calories Per Serving: 15 calories

Ingredients:

6 medium-sized carrots, peeled and chopped
5 habanero peppers, stemmed and seeded
4 cloves garlic, peeled
1 onion, chopped
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
Salt to taste

Instructions:

1. Prep Work:

Start by getting your ingredients ready. Peel and chop the carrots, remove the stems and seeds from the habanero peppers, and chop the onion and garlic.

2. Sauteing The Vegetables:

Heat up some olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and cook them until they’re soft and fragrant about 3-4 minutes.
Toss in the carrots and habanero peppers, and let them cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Simmering:

Now, it’s time to add the vinegar and water to the saucepan. Let everything simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes until the carrots are nice and tender.

4. Blending:

Once the veggies are cooked through, take the saucepan off the heat and let it cool down for a bit.
Transfer everything to a blender or food processor, and add in the honey and a pinch of salt.
Blend everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a bit more water.

5. Straining (Optional):

If you want your hot sauce extra smooth, you can strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any bits of fiber.

Enjoying The Fruits Of Your Labor

Tips For Adjusting Heat Levels

To control the spiciness of the hot sauce, you can:

Remove the seeds and membranes from the habanero peppers for a milder sauce.
Increase the number of carrots to dilute the heat.
Experiment with adding fruits like mango or pineapple for a sweeter flavor profile.
