Discover how to make the perfect spicy and tangy fermented jalapeño hot sauce that you can put to use in a myriad of ways.
Ingredients
- 1 lb. peppers different varities
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- 1 onion
- 1 lime juiced
- 4-6 garlic cloves
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 2 cup filtered water
Instructions
- Start by de-seeding and chopping your peppers and other ingredients.
- In a clean jar, layer the peppers, onion, garlic and coriander.
- Combine the salt with 2 cups of filtered water to create a brine. Pour this brine into the jar.
- Place a weight onto the surface of the peppers to ensure that all the ingredients are completely submerged in.
- Close the lid and place the jar in a cool and dark place for 5-7 days, making sure you 'burp' it and open the lid to allow the gas to escape every day.
- After 5-7 days, strain the peppers and other ingredients, separating them from the brine using a mesh strainer. Save the brine.
- Blend the peppers and other ingredients in a food processor until you get a smooth mixture. Now add the lime juice and some of the brine to get the consistency of the hot sauce right.
