Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb. jalapeno peppers (approx. 10 jalapenos)
1/2 onion
2 garlic cloves
3/4 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup water
juice of 1 lime
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional)
8-10 cilantro sprigs
freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Give the jalapenos a good rinse and de-stem them. Be sure to wash your hands after handling them. More info on handling hot chiles.
  • Saute a roughly chopped 1/2 onion and 2 whole, peeled garlic cloves in a glug of oil over medium heat.
  • Once the onion is browning you can add 1 teaspoon Mexican oregano, some freshly cracked black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon cumin (optional). Briefly cook until fragrant and then add: the de-stemmed jalapenos, 3/4 cup white vinegar, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and then add everything to a blender.
  • Add 8-10 sprigs cilantro and the juice of 1 lime to the blender. Combine well or to your desired consistency. I usually leave it a bit chunky but you can always blend it thinner.
  • Add mixture to three 5 oz. bottles or a small Mason jar. Store in the fridge where it will keep for at least a month.

MEXICAN STYLE HOT SAUCE



Mexican Style Hot Sauce image

I moved to Texas from Michigan some years ago, and really loved the hot sauce that comes with the tortilla chips at any Mexican restaurant down here. This is a take from a recipe a work-friend gave me. It's great, this is also what I use on my Cilantro Salmon. Recipe can also be easily doubled if you're having guests. Also, recipe is really to taste. Once you get to the last steps, use as much or as little cilantro, salt and lime juice as you like. If you prefer less garlic, use less.

Time 30m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes
1/2 yellow onion, rough chopped
5 -7 garlic cloves, peeled
3 -5 fresh jalapenos, whole
fresh serranos, whole
2 limes
1/2 bunch cilantro, rough chopped
salt

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Place garlic cloves and peppers on baking sheet, place in oven and roast until garlic and peppers are brown and skin is blistering. Cut tops of peppers off.
  • Meanwhile, put in a blender or food processor the tomatoes (I like Muir Glen brand) and onions. Blend, until onion is well minced, but do not make it too smooth yet. When peppers and garlic are done, put in blender with tomato mixture. (If you want a milder sauce, wait until peppers are cool enough to handle and de-seed before putting in blender) Blend until smooth. Add cilantro, using more or less, to taste. Chop in blender. Squeeze juice of 1 whole lime, add salt to taste, and mix in blender. Taste sauce, if needs more salt or lime, just add more!
