This savoury sweet sauce is great as a dip for spring rolls, fries. You can also add it to your wraps and tacos for that extra flavour.
It’s super easy to make at home with simple ingredients.
In this recipe we used Italian peperoncino, which is a mild chili pepper, but you can use other types. Just make sure not to make it too hot for your taste. You could add a small amount and taste it. If you like it hotter you can always add more.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- 50 ml apple vinegar ( or white wine vinegar)
- 100 grams sugar
- salt
- 1 teaspoon peperoncino ( Italian dry hot chili pepper)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 180 ml water
Chop finely the red bell pepper and the garlic in a food processor.
In a small bowl mix together 30 ml of water and the cornstarch until it blends.
In a small saucepan add all of the ingredients (including the remaining 150 ml of water) except for the mixture of water and cornstarch.
Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, then add the mixture of water and cornstarch. Keep cooking on medium heat.
When it starts to boil lower the heat to a minimum and cook for another 5 minutes.
The sauce is ready!!
You can store the sauce in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
