Roasted Jalapeno Hot Sauce

Normally Jalapeno peppers are not easily available in India. Fortunately, that day I found these peppers. I used them in 'Salsa' and made some 'Pickle Jalapeno'. After that, I had some Jalapeno peppers. So I decided to make 'Jalapeno Hot Sauce'. I found a recipe on 'Yummly' and then made it by my own style. 

You can use this sauce in Salsa or in a salad dressing. You can serve this with grilled fish, chicken or grilled vegetables. You can also use this sauce as marination.  

Ingredients:

• Jalapeno peppers- 8
• Onion- 1 small (optional)
• Garlic- 3 to 4 cloves
• Fresh coriander, chopped- a handful
• Vinegar- 4 tbsp  or Lime juice- from 1 lemon 
• Olive oil- 2 tbsp
• Salt- to taste  

Method:

• Roast the jalapenos directly over the flame until the skin starts to bubble and blacken. Flip the jalapenos and blacken the other side. 
• Roast onion and garlic with skin. 
  
• Keep covered all jalapenos, garlic and onion for 15 minutes.
• Scrape off the blackened skin using the tip of a knife and discard the skin. Discard the skin of garlic and onion. 
  
• Chop jalapeno and onion. You can remove the seeds, if you don't want to make the sauce too spicy. 
• Combine all ingredients and grind coarsely. Your Jalapeno Hot Sauce is ready. 

Tips:

• You can also roast jalapenos in the oven. 
• You can store this sauce in refrigerator.
