Description

Profile: Small things can be big. The pequin chile proves it. The little Mexican chili pepper used in Cholula spicy sauce is one to avoid. They are 13x spicy than a jalapeno.

Details:

Sure, dried Pequin chilies are fiery enough to launch model rockets, but they are flavorful! It's zesty with mesquite and smoke notes, and a strong roasted red bell pepper flavor. It's a beautiful sight for the tongue before it's carbonized.

Do you use dried Pequin peppers? Of course you do. Then mix it everything up in your blender with 1 cup of cider vinegar and a couple garlic cloves until smooth. In a broad, wide baking dish, strain (to get the air out of the sauce). After an hour, bottle the mixture. It lasts 6 months in the fridge.
