Print Recipe

A quick and easy zesty datil pepper sauce that balances heat, tang, and sweetness to elevate any meal with a fresh, citrusy kick.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10–12 medium fresh datil peppers
  • 3 large garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. Rinse the datil peppers under cold water. Remove stems and seeds if less heat is desired. Wear gloves to avoid irritation.
  2. Lightly roast the garlic cloves on a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden.
  3. In a blender or food processor, combine datil peppers, roasted garlic, lemon juice, white vinegar, honey, and sea salt. Pulse a few times.
  4. While blending on low, slowly stream in olive oil and water to emulsify the sauce. Blend for 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, lemon juice, or honey as needed. Add water a teaspoon at a time to reach desired consistency.
  6. Transfer sauce to a clean glass jar, seal, and refrigerate. Sauce keeps up to two weeks and flavors improve after a day or two.

Notes

Wear gloves when handling peppers to avoid skin irritation. Roast garlic lightly to mellow sharpness. Add olive oil slowly while blending to emulsify. Let sauce rest overnight for best flavor. Adjust heat by removing seeds or substituting peppers. Store refrigerated up to two weeks.
