I call this an everything sauce because it goes on breakfast, lunch, and dinner – from eggs to spaghetti to salad dressing. It’s only as hot as the chiles you use so the heat level is up to you.
I’m on the hunt for new hot sauces since we managed to run out of our whole collection all at once. I always keep sambal oelek
I had big dreams for bottling all my own chile sauces from my own garden this summer… then Golden got pounded with two-inch ice balls last week while we were out of town. All my little just-planted seedlings are very dead. We’ll see how motivated I can be to replant everything.
The oil will keep for several weeks, but the longer it sits, the more intense the heat; you can cut it with a little more oil after a couple weeks if needed. Because the ingredients list is so simple, this recipe is veggie, vegan, and gluten friendly!
