Instructions

  • Grill the peppers and onion over a charcoal grill until a nice char forms.
  • Add everything to a bowl, or blender and begin pureeing.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar and lime as you blend but don't add it all at once so you can regulate how wet the sauce gets.
  • Add a tablespoon of cumin and a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Taste the sauce and cut it with honey in order to find that perfect balance of sweet, tangy, smoky, and spicy.
  • If desired, strain the sauce through a metal strainer for a smoother texture.
