Ingredients

  • 5 tomatoes (medium, about 1 lb)
  • 2 red hot chili peppers (plus more for more spiciness)
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt (plus more to taste)

Instructions

  • Prepare your tomatoes and peppers by washing them, removing stems, and removing seeds and membrane from the peppers. Cut tomatoes into quarters. Peel the garlic.
  • Run tomatoes, garlic and one chili pepper through a meat grinder fitted with a 3/16 inch (4.5mm) plate. Taste for spiciness. Add the second chili pepper or more as needed.
  • Add 1/2 tsp kosher salt, mix well and taste. You can add more salt at this time, if needed.
  • If the sauce is too liquid, place the sauce in a fine mesh strainer over a large bowl and let it drain for about 10-15 seconds. You can add some juice back if needed.
  • Place the sauce into a container with a lid and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
