Hot sauce and chilli lovers get your zing on! This is not for the faint-hearted, as it’s a recipe absolutely buzzing with flavour and heat, combining elements from a number of different recipes I researched before making. Although not a fan of disposable items in my house, in this instance, thin disposable gloves are very handy (no pun intended). Or you could use washable rubber gloves, but it will make handling and chopping the chillis a bit trickier.

I used my homegrown chillis – a mixture of orange, red and yellow. The recipe made four 300ml jars of spicy, sensational sauce.

Use it with meats, sandwiches, vegetables or to spice up soups and braises. It is wonderful.

Ingredients

  • 40 habanero chillis
  • 1 large and 1 small onion
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1x 1.5 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 1 whole lime, washed and cut into quarters, seeds removed and chopped
  • 1 handful of fresh coriander, washed
  • 1-2 mango cheeks (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
  • 1.5-2 cups white wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp good quality cooking oil - I used grape seed
  • 1 pair of disposable gloves for handling the chillis

Instructions

  1. Chop the large onion and dice the carrot. Heat the oil in a heavy pan and sauté the onion and garlic until soft - about 10 minutes. Cool slightly.
  2. Place the garlic, ginger, coriander, mango, raw onion and lime into a blender with the cooked carrot and onion and blend until everything is blitzed, then return to the pan.
  3. Prepare the habaneros: using gloves, wash them, remove any stalks and add to the blender. Blitz until fine and add to the pan. Be careful not to inhale the fumes!
  4. Turn the heat back on and bring to a simmer, then simmer gently for about 30-40 minutes.
  5. While hot, spoon into sterilised jars and let cool completely before sealing.
