Serrano Pepper Hot Sauce Steps
1) Combine different ingredients to create a complementary undertone that will run through the serrano hot sauce and compliment the flavor of the peppers. Often these ingredients are onion, carrot, celery, other chile peppers, garlic and spices. Sometimes these ingredients are also sauteed, grilled, or roasted to bring out even more of their flavor.
2) Remove the stems and roughly chop the serrano peppers. Sometimes you'll also remove the seeds but this is mainly a matter of preference.
3) Put the serrano peppers and base ingredients into a blender, add a liquid, and blend until it is smooth. The liquid will normally be a vinegar or citrus juice.
4) Simmer the mixture on the stove for a few minutes, until the flavors of the serrano hot sauce are combined and the sauce is the consistency you want.
5) Add to your favorite food and enjoy!
