Ingredients
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 clove fresh garlic, peeled and split
¼ yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
2 ounces fresh cayenne peppers
1 cup white vinegar
Pinch of salt and pepper
¼ cup water
Method
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, and paprika, and cook until fragrant.
Add the cayenne peppers and stir until peppers begin to soften
Deglaze with the vinegar, scraping any crust from the pan as you stir.
Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes.
Cool the mixture enough for transfer, and then use a food processor to process the sauce until smooth. It will resemble a thick paste.
Add ¼ cup water and continue to blend until smooth
Strain the mixture through a sieve and save the sauce in a jar or bottle.
Discard the aggregate pepper mixture.
Be sure to cool the sauce before covering or sealing it.
