Ingredients

• 2 large red bell peppers
• 4 pieces garlic cloves
• 2 small red chilies (fresno or similar)
• 3 tablespoons white vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 cup water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and deseed the red bell peppers. Cut them into large chunks for easier cooking.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and leave them whole.

Step 3

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the red bell peppers, garlic cloves, and red chilies to the pan. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the peppers start to soften and brown slightly.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste and stir for 1 minute to coat the ingredients.

Step 6

Pour in 1 cup of water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Lower the heat and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 7

Add white vinegar, honey, and salt to the saucepan. Stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly.

Step 9

Transfer the contents to a blender and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Blend until smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time until you reach your desired texture.

Step 10

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, honey, or vinegar, if needed.

Step 11

Pour the finished sauce into a clean jar or bottle and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks in the fridge.
