Spicy Habanero Sauce

I can't tell you how much I LOVE spicy food and SPICY SAUCE!!! So I was thrilled when my husband brought home some FRESH home-grown habanero peppers! Of course, I was immediately inspired to make a sauce. It's quick, simple and EASY...and OMG it's SOOO DELICIOUS!





Ingredients:
- 2 cans of PLAIN tomato sauce
- 3-4 small red habanero peppers, seeds removed, finely diced
- 1-2 med. size orange habanero peppers, seeds removed, finely diced
- 1 med. onion, diced
- 5 large cloves of garlic, minced
- paprika
- crushed red pepper
- salt
- pepper
- fresh oregano
- fresh basil
- olive oil


To Make:

In a med. sauce pan, drizzle some olive oil and saute your diced garlic, onion and diced peppers for about 5-6 minutes on med.-high heat or until tender. Sprinkle them lightly with salt and ground black pepper.

Next, add in your canned sauce and mix together, reducing heat to med. low. Add a teaspoon of salt to the top and a generous portion of black pepper. Add a teaspoon of paprika.

Chop up 4 sprigs of fresh oregano and a handful of fresh basil and add into the sauce. Mix in as much crushed red pepper as you can handle.

Turn on low heat and let this cook at least 30 minutes so all of the flavors can cook together. Stir this every 5-6 minutes.

Serve with bread, pasta, meat or fish. ENJOY!!!
