SPICY SERRANO HOT SAUCE - RECIPE



Spicy Serrano Hot Sauce - Recipe image

This hot sauce recipe uses serrano peppers that have been fermented, then processed with vinegar, garlic, tequila and lime juice. It is juicy, tart and just the right amount of spicy.

Provided by Mike Hultquist

Categories     Main Course     Salsa

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound serrano peppers
3 tablespoons sea salt
1 quart unchlorinated water
3 cloves garlic (minced)
3 ounces white wine vinegar
1.5 ounces reposado tequila
Juice from 1 lime

Steps:

  • First, ferment the serrano peppers. Process your fresh peppers in a food processor. If you don't have a processor, use a mortar and pestle or simply rough chop them. Pack them into a jar, leaving at least 1 inch of head space. The peppers may rise a bit when fermenting.
  • Next, mix 1 quart unchlorinated water with 3 tablespoons sea salt. Pour just enough brine over the peppers to cover them, pressing them down a bit as you go. Discard or save any remaining brine for another use. It is important to keep the peppers covered with brine to avoid spoilage. Check this daily.
  • Screw on the lid and set the jar away from direct sunlight to ferment for at least 1 week. Ideal temperatures are between 55-75 degrees F. The most active fermentation period is between 1-2 weeks, sobe sure to monitor it during this time. "Burp" the jars often by unscrewing the lid a bit to let out some of the accumulating gases. Or, use an airlock or membrane for easier fermenting. See our page, "How to Make Fermented Pepper Mash", for further instruction.
  • After 1-2 weeks, the fermenting activity will diminish and the brine will turn cloudy and taste acidic.
  • Pour the fermented serrano peppers, including the brine, into a pot along with garlic, vinegar and tequila. Bring to a quick boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. NOTE: If you feel the brine will make your hot sauce too salty, you can strain the peppers and use fresh water instead, just enough to cover the peppers in the pot. Or, use a combination of brine and fresh water.
  • Cool slightly then add to a food processor with the lime juice. Process until smooth.
  • Strain the mixture to remove the solids, if desired. Pour into hot sauce bottles and enjoy.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 0.3 calories, Carbohydrate 0.1 g, Sodium 86.4 mg

Tips:

  • Choose the right serrano peppers: Look for peppers that are deep green and unblemished. Avoid peppers that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
  • Roast the peppers before blending: Roasting the peppers will bring out their natural sweetness and smoky flavor. You can roast the peppers in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes.
  • Use a high-quality blender: A high-quality blender will help you achieve a smooth and creamy hot sauce. If you don't have a high-quality blender, you can also use a food processor, but the results may not be as smooth.
  • Strain the hot sauce: Straining the hot sauce will remove any seeds or bits of skin that may have made it into the blender. This will give you a smoother and more refined hot sauce.
  • Add additional ingredients to taste: You can add additional ingredients to your hot sauce to taste, such as garlic, onion, cilantro, or lime juice. Experiment with different ingredients to find a flavor combination that you enjoy.

Conclusion:

Serrano hot sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make at home and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. With a little experimentation, you can create a hot sauce that is perfect for your taste. So get creative and have fun!
