This recipe is perfect for those days when you're looking for a dish that's rich and flavorful with some added heat! The recipe requires only five minutes to prepare and can be served with any meat or seafood dish, paired with rice and beans, even used as a dipping sauce for chips, wings, and more.
Add the peppers to a blender or food processor and pulse until smooth. Before blending, remove the seeds and discard them if you don't want a really spicy sauce.
Blend the rest of the ingredients in a blender or food processor until they're smooth and creamy.
Sauté the sauce in a medium saucepan.
Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently to avoid burning, until thick.
Serve at room temperature after taking it off of the heat source.
A fine mesh strainer can be used to filter out any remaining solids from the sauce, which can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks (you can also move to freezer bags and freeze leftovers for a later date).
