Habanero Hot Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 large carrots, chopped
  • 2 medium-sized red tomatoes, cut into quarters
  • Quarter of one Spanish onion, cut into strips
  • 3 habenero peppers, cut in half
  • 3 cloves of garlic, cut in half
  • Juice of one lime
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. Warm the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and let them cook for about 5 minutes.
  2. Put the onion, tomatoes, habaneros, and garlic cloves into the skillet next, and continue cooking, giving everything a stir now and then.
  3. Move the contents of the skillet to a blender. Add the lime juice and vinegar, then pulse; if the mixture is too thick, thin it with water, a tablespoon at a time.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. This salsa is very fiery, so be careful, and if you have latex gloves, use them when you cut the peppers.
