Habanero Hot Sauce

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup chopped carrots
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 5 habanero peppers
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup white vinegar
• 1 tomato
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Heat the oil in a sauce pan over medium heat. Cook and stir the carrots, oil, onion, and garlic in the hot oil until soft, about 5 minutes; transfer to a blender. Add the whole habanero peppers, water, lime juice, white vinegar, and tomato to blender; blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Transfer mixture to a saucepan, and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes. This gives the sauce a more liquid consistency.
