Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Hatch chiles
  • 1 white onion
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • Cut the stems off your hatch chiles, then slice them lengthwise and remove the seeds. Slice the top and the root off your onion and remove the outer wrapper.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boil, then add the prepared hatch chiles and onion. Boil for 15 minutes.
  • When finished boiling, reserve 2 tablespoons of the water from the pot. Add that water to your blender along with the chiles, onion, vinegar, garlic cloves and salt. Blend until smooth.
  • Transfer blended hot sauce to bottles and store in the fridge. (I fit the yield of this recipe into five of these bottles.)
