It can be used as a condiment, marinade, or dipping sauce, and is made from a variety of ingredients such as Panamanian hot peppers, onions, garlic, vinegar, and spices.
Begin by washing and drying the habanero peppers. Remove the stems and chop them roughly.
In a blender or food processor, add the chopped habanero peppers, chopped onion, minced garlic, cumin, salt, black pepper, vinegar, and water. Blend until you get a smooth consistency.
In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the blended mixture to the pan and stir well.
Let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once done, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the hot sauce to a clean glass jar or bottle, and store it in the refrigerator.
