Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

In a food processor, combine the chile peppers, onion, dates, basil, parsley, tomato, beef bouillon powder, and garlic. Pour in the vegetable oil and pulse until the mixture is finely chopped, adding more oil as needed to achieve your desired consistency. Season generously with salt. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Transfer the pepper mixture to a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, squeeze in the lemon juice, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and deepen. (Cook time: 20 minutes)

03

Step
15 mins

Remove from heat and let the pepper mixture cool completely. Once cooled, pour the hot sauce into a clean glass jar with a lid and store in the refrigerator for optimal freshness and flavor. (Cooling time: 30 minutes)

Adjust the number of chile peppers to control the heat level. For a milder sauce, use fewer peppers or remove the seeds and membranes before processing.
Feel free to experiment with different types of fresh herbs. Cilantro, mint, or oregano can add unique flavor profiles to the sauce.
The hot sauce will continue to develop its flavor over time, so allow it to sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before using. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
