Red Chilli Hot Sauce

This vibrant red chilli hot sauce is a wonderful way to bring a punchy, fermented-style heat to your favourite dishes. By combining the relatively mild, fruity heat of Fresno chillies with the intense kick of habaneros, it creates a complex flavour profile that far surpasses shop-bought varieties. Macerating the chillies in salt before blending ensures a silky-smooth texture and a deeper, more rounded savoury depth that works beautifully as a tabletop condiment.

As a versatile vegan staple, this homemade sauce is perfect for drizzling over grilled vegetables, stirring into spicy beans or brightening up a morning avocado toast. It is a brilliant make-ahead recipe for any chilli lover, as the flavours continue to meld and improve when kept in the fridge. This simple method allows you to control the seasoning, ensuring a fresh, preservative-free condiment that lasts for weeks.

Ingredients for Red Chilli Hot Sauce

  • 20 red Fresno chillies, seeds removed

  • 8 red habanero chillies, seeds removed

  • 1 small garlic clove, finely grated

  • 2 tablespoons kosher salt, plus more for seasoning

  • 240ml white distilled vinegar

Pulse Fresno and habanero chillies, garlic, and 2 tablespoons salt in a food processor until very finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and let sit at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours (this will both develop the chilli flavour and soften the flesh, resulting in a smooth flavorful sauce when puréed).

Purée chilli mixture and vinegar in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.

Sauce can be made 2 months ahead. Cover and chill.
