Practical Cooking Tips

- Use fresh chiles for the best flavor and heat.
- Adjust the amount of chile to match your preferred spice level.
- Let the condiment sit for a few hours before using to deepen the flavors.

Directions

Combin the chicken broth, white onion, garlic, chipotle peppers, roasted red jalapeños, pepperoncini peppers, dried Chinese hot peppers, and long hot chile peppers in a pot. Bring everything to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the peppers have softened. Once everything is tender, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Hold the lid down tightly and pulse a few times to break it up, then blend until smooth. You might need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your blender.

Perfect Pairings

Try it as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables. It also works great stirred into soups, stews, or even as a spicy dip for snacks. A little goes a long way, so start with a small amount and add more as you like.

Leftover Care Tips

Store the condiment in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to two weeks. Always use a clean spoon to avoid contamination and help it last longer.
