The bold heat of the habanero in this hot sauce is tamed – albeit slightly – by the cushiony sweetness of the peach and the calm, refreshing notes of fresh mint leaves. The soft acidity of tomatoes creates a richer and rounder hot-sauce that should be used judiciously as a finishing touch to grilled meats but could be doled out more generously in a base for a marinade.
Ingredients
-
1 tomato, rough chopped
-
1 peach, rough chopped
-
3 garlic cloves
-
2 teaspoons kosher salt
-
1/2 cup mint leaves
-
1 tablespoon white vinegar
-
Juice of 1 lime
-
1 habanero, seeded and ribs removed.
Directions
-
Place all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth, about 2 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach the desired consistency. Store in a sanitized air-tight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.
