Habanero Hot Sauce

To preserve the distinctive flavor of the habanero peppers, we don't cook them with the sauce but add them afterwards.

Ingredients

• 1 small onion, chopped

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

• 1/2 cup chopped carrots

• 1 cup water

• 10 habanero chiles, stems and seeds removed, minced

• 1/4 cup lime juice

Instructions

In a pan, saute the onion in the oil until soft. Add the carrots and water. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the carrots are soft.

Add the chiles and lime juice to the carrot mixture. Place in a blender and puree until smooth.
