Plus, the addition of truffle, whether in the form of oil or finely grated fresh truffle, elevates this condiment into a luxurious addition to pizzas, pastas, eggs, and much more.

Recipe Details:

Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Course: Condiment

Cuisine: International Fusion
Yield: Makes about 1 cup
Calories Per Serving: Approximately 20-30 calories per tablespoon

Ingredients:

1 cup of your preferred chili peppers (e.g., habanero, jalapeño, or serrano for varying levels of heat)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup white vinegar

2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon sugar (optional, for balance)
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons truffle oil or 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh truffle
Optional: 1 teaspoon of your favorite herbs (such as thyme or oregano) for added flavor complexity

Equipment:

Gloves (for handling hot chili peppers)

Blender or food processor
Fine mesh strainer
Clean bottle or jar for storage

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare The Peppers

Wear gloves, and deseed and roughly chop the chili peppers. The seeds can be included for extra heat, but removing them gives a smoother, more balanced heat.

Step 2: Cook The Ingredients

Combine the chopped peppers, minced garlic, white vinegar, water, sugar (if using), and salt in a saucepan.

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This process melds the flavors together and softens the peppers.

Step 3: Blend The Mixture

Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the truffle oil or grated fresh truffle (and optional herbs if using).

Blend until smooth. You can add a little more water or vinegar for a thinner sauce.

Step 4: Strain And Store

Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bottle or jar for a smoother sauce.

Press or scrape the solids with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.

Step 5: Season And Adjust

Taste your truffle hot sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You might want to add more salt, vinegar, or truffle oil to balance the flavors to your liking.

Storage

Store your truffle hot sauce in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to a month, allowing the flavors to meld and mature over time.

Serving Suggestions

This truffle hot sauce is incredibly versatile. Drizzle it over pizza, stir it into pasta, or add a dash to your morning eggs to elevate your breakfast.

It also makes a fantastic gift for foodie friends who appreciate a touch of luxury in their cooking.
