Torchy's Diablo Sauce Recipe
This sauce is not for the faint-hearted, but if you're a fan of hot sauces and love a good culinary challenge, you're in the right place.
Equipment
- 1 medium saucepan
- 1 blender immersion or standing
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2-3/4 cup diced white onions
- 1-2 garlic cloves
- 3-4 habaneros
- 12 oz tomato sauce
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 cup green chiles
- lime juice
Instructions
- Dice the onions, mince the garlic, and remove the stems from the habaneros. You can also chop the green chiles if they aren't already prepared. Remember to use gloves when handling the habaneros, as they are very hot peppers, and their oils can cause irritation or burning to your skin.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the diced white onions, minced garlic, and destemmed habaneros. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until the onions have become slightly translucent, which should take around five minutes.
- To the saucepan, add the tomato sauce and chopped green chiles. Stir everything together to ensure the mixture is evenly combined. Let the mixture cook for an additional five minutes.
- Add the white wine vinegar, kosher salt, and a pinch of salt to taste. Stir everything together, and let the mixture cook for 10 minutes on low heat. Taste the sauce and add a squeeze of lime juice as needed to balance the flavors.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the sauce to cool for a couple of minutes. Next, use an immersion blender or transfer the sauce to a standing blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a bit of water or additional lime juice to thin it out to your desired consistency.Once you've finished blending the sauce, your Torchy's Diablo Sauce is ready to serve!
