How to Make Habanero And Poblano Hot Sauce

  1. Preheat grill or oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast 2 large poblano peppers, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred on all sides (15-20 minutes).
  2. Place roasted poblanos in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool for 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel, seed, and chop into large chunks.
  3. Remove stems from 2-3 habanero peppers (adjust to your spice preference!). Finely chop the habaneros.
  4. Combine the chopped poblanos, habaneros, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1 cup water in a blender. Blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the blended mixture into a saucepan and simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced by about half, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the juice of 1 lime.
  7. Add 2-4 tablespoons of white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar for a milder flavor) until you reach your desired consistency. Stir well or re-blend if necessary.
  8. Pour the hot sauce into a sterilized jar or container. Let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The flavor will deepen over time.
