Ingredients

  • 5 oz habanero peppers
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped Omit for low FODMAP
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • Juice of 1 small lime
  • 1/3 cup water

Instructions

  • Cut the habanero peppers lengthwise and remove the seeds and ribs. I recommend you use gloves, and try using a grapefruit spoon for a easy quick removal!
  • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter over medium-high heat.
  • Add the habaneros, carrots, and garlic, and saute until they are cooked and soft.
  • Pour the mixture into a blender or a long narrow container if you are using an immersion blender.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, and blend until smooth.
  • Pour into a bottle or a jar and let the sauce cool.
  • Keep it in the fridge and use it on EVERYTHING!

Notes

Play around with the amount of habaneros, carrots, and water to get the spice level to your liking. You can also sub in some of the habaneros with red bell peppers to tone down the heat!
