ingredients

25 chiles
white vinegar (see method)
2 teaspoons salt

directions

Wash the chiles, then just remove the stalks, but not the seeds.

Put the whole chiles into the jar of a blender, add about 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar then blend. (Warning, don't lift the lid straight off the blender jar and look in - you could get a major hit of chile fumes! Let it settle before opening the lid, carefully.)

If the chile paste is too thick and chunky, add a little more vinegar, then blend again: it should become a smooth paste. Then stir in the salt.

Keep the finished chile paste in a sterilized jar in the refrigerator, ready to use whenever chiles are needed in a recipe.

cook's notes

I use this every year when we have a glut of hot hot chilli peppers. This is an Indonesian style chilli paste, a great way to keep excess chillies you've harvested.

  1. Brian REVIEW:

    This works great with smoked peppers .Jalapeno and habaneros

  2. IamUmason

    would this stay long without refrigeration?

    • The directions specifically say to refrigerate so I wouldn't store it at room temperature.

  3. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    i added garlic and olive oil, yummo! not to say this isn't great too!
