Ingredients
- 20 pieces Dried chile de arbol peppers
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Remove the stems from the chile de arbol peppers. You can also remove some seeds if you want to slightly reduce the heat.
Step 2
Heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the chile de arbol peppers for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until they become fragrant. Be careful not to burn them.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add the garlic cloves and lightly toast them for 1-2 minutes until the skins begin to brown. Remove the skins after toasting.
Step 4
In a small pot, combine the toasted chile de arbol peppers, toasted garlic, white vinegar, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes to soften the peppers.
Step 5
Remove the pot from heat and let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the salt and olive oil, then blend until the mixture is smooth. (Use caution when blending hot liquids to avoid splattering.)
Step 7
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. If the sauce is too thick, you can add an extra tablespoon of water at a time until your desired consistency is reached.
Step 8
Pour the sauce into a clean glass jar or bottle and let it cool completely before storing. Refrigerate the sauce—it will keep for about 2 weeks.
