Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes about 1½ cups

Ingredients

20 red Fresno chiles, seeds removed
8 red habanero chiles, seeds removed
1 small garlic clove, finely grated
2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
1 cup white distilled vinegar

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pulse Fresno and habanero chiles, garlic, and 2 Tbsp. salt in a food processor until very finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and let sit at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours (this will both develop the chile flavor and soften the flesh, resulting in a smooth flavorful sauce when puréed).

    Step 2

    Purée chile mixture and vinegar in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.

    Step 3

    Do Ahead: Sauce can be made 2 months ahead. Cover and chill.
