Ingredients
  

  • 8 fresh serrano peppers or 4 large jalapeños for milder heat
  • 2 –3 fresh red chili peppers
  • 2 tablespoons pimento or a sweet fruit like papaya
  • 1 –2 Greek pepperoncini peppers
  • 3 –4 garlic cloves peeled
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar add more for a thinner texture
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 –2 tablespoons chopped kalamata olives
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin or dried herbs for added depth

Method
 

  1. 1. Prepare the Peppers
    Put on gloves and remove stems and most seeds from the serrano, red chili, and pepperoncini peppers. If you love extra heat, keep some seeds. Roughly chop them.

    2. Blend Base Ingredients
    In your food processor, add the chopped peppers, garlic, pimento, and salt. Pulse a few times until finely chopped-but not fully puréed. The texture should remain thick and rustic.

    3. Add Liquids
    Pour in the apple cider vinegar and olive oil. Blend briefly to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add vinegar one tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.

    4. Season and Adjust
    Sprinkle in the Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes, and optionally add cumin or chopped olives. Pulse to mix. Taste and tweak the salt, vinegar, or spice level to your liking.

    5. Let It Rest
    Allow the sauce to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. This helps mellow the sharpness and melds the flavors beautifully.

    6. Store
    Transfer to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate and use within 2 weeks.
