250 g red chilies
Put all ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend until you have a smooth sauce.

Check seasoning and when you are happy with the sauce, transfer to a sealable jar. Store in the fridge for three days.

Notes

Do wear protective gloves when handling large quantities of chili, and remove seeds and membranes if you don't want the sauce to be too fierce. Choose latex free gloves if there is any chance that you will be serving your sauce to someone with a latex allergy.

If you like a milder sauce but can only find hot chilies, use fewer chilies and include some sweet red peppers.

For the smoothest sauce, use a power blender.

Storage

Fridge – You can store this simple chili sauce for three days in a sealed jar in the fridge. If anything, it will improve over that time, so feel free to prepare in advance.

Freezer – Freeze in a sealed container or for easy portioning, use an ice cube tray.
