Helofa hot sauce (their name!!)

1 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1cupOlive oil
1largeWhite onion, finely diced (any kind will do, I suspect)
4Red serrano or cayenne chiles, chopped (not seeded-recipe says not to)
2Canned chipotle chiles, along with any adobo sauce that clings
1Plump garlic cloves, minced (up to 2)
2tablespoonsRed wine vinegar

Directions

this recipe comes from the book "Onions, Onions, Onions" by Linda and Fred Griffith. I haven't tried it, but they recommend it for chicken wings, or marinating shrimp for barbecuing, among othre things.

In med. non-aluminum saucepan, over high heat, combine oil, onion, fresh chiles, chipotles, and garlic. Bring mixture just to a boil; remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temp. Combine chile mixture and vinegar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Puree until smooth. Pour sauce into a sterilized jar and cover tightly. Let flavors marry at room temp for several days before using. This sauce will keep, refrigerated, for several weeks.
