Blender Hot Sauce will add a rich spiciness to bean dishes, chili, enchiladas, burritos, fajitas, frittatas, and casseroles.
1 cup chopped onions
1 chopped bell pepper
1 or 2 fresh green chiles, seeds removed
5 garlic cloves minced or pressed
4 cups chopped fresh or 3 cups chopped canned tomatoes with their juice (28
oz. can)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
salt to taste
In a blender or food processor, combine the onions, peppers, chiles, garlic, tomatoes, cumin, coriander, oregano, and cilantro and puree until smooth.
Transfer the sauce to a soup pot and simmer on low heat, uncovered, for about 30 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have mellowed. Stir often as it cooks to prevent sticking. Add salt to taste.
Hot sauce will keep for about 2 weeks, refrigerated and tightly covered.
