Have you seen me?
This is one of my favorite condiments, and I can't find it ANYWHERE. Apparently the chili growers in Mexico had a bad season or something, but the bottom line is this product has all but disappeared.
However, I found a copycat recipe and tried it out yesterday, and it's legit. The only thing I'd change is using 3x the amount of garlic.
Copycat Chili Garlic Sauce (origin unknown)
Remove the stems from the peppers and throw everything into a food processor or blender. Blend till it's the consistency of applesauce, or however you like. Put it in a jar and keep it refrigerated. Warning: it is incredibly pungent at the moment of blending and you might cough a bit when the lid comes off.
Which chili peppers you should use depends on how hot you like it. In order of heat, from mild to hot:
Copycat Chili Garlic Sauce (origin unknown)
- 1 pound of red chili peppers
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic (I recommend more)
- 1 tbsp salt (or to taste)
- 1 tsp lime juice
