Recipe Sweet and Sour Chili Sauce
INGREDIENTS:
5 red peppers
200 ml of water
150 grams of sugar
50 ml of vinegar
3 garlic cloves
1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch
1 tablespoon of ginger (fresh - grated)
tablespoon of lemon juice
pinch of salt
COOKING METHOD:
Peel the garlic cloves and cut the chilli in the middle to remove the seeds (if you like spicy, let them sit comfortably).
Place the garlic, chilli and ginger in a food processor and grind finely.
Put the water, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a saucepan.
Add the chilli paste and cook over low heat until all the sugar has dissolved.
Taste the sauce (gently = hot) and add an extra pepper to taste if you like it a little spicier.
First mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and mix it with the sauce. Stir well with a whisk to avoid any lumps and reduce the sauce slightly.
The sauce must have the thickness of a syrup, after cooling it will become slightly thicker. If the sauce is too thin, add some extra cornflour mixed with water.
Pour the sauce into a glass jar or bottle and allow to cool completely. Enjoy your meal!
