Ingredients

  • 1 cup smoked fresno peppers OR red jalapenos
  • 1 cup mini peppers
  • 1 San Marzano or Roma tomato
  • 1 head of garlic roughly smashed
  • rd cup unsweetened/natural rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup honey *** if doing Keto this needs to be swapped with lankanto maple or choc zero maple
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce for Paleo / Whole 30 use Red Boat Fish Sauce.

Instructions

  • This recipe needs to be made on a charcoal grill to get the smokiness into the peppers. If you do this on a gas grill, you need to use a smoker tube to get smoke flavor. If using a pellet smoker, I recommend smoking longer at lower temps to get more smoker flavor. To add extra smoke, you can also look to use a smoker tube in your pellet smoker.
  • Create a direct and indirect zone on your (charcoal) grill. Place peppers on indirect heat and let them absorb the smoke. Grill them for 20 minutes or more until they have begun to roast, eventually transfer at the end to get final char marks before transferring to a plate.
  • Let the peppers cool and remove stems. You can roast these peppers one night after grilling your main course and then make the sauce with them the next day.
  • Put ingredients in a food processor (or blender if you don’t have a food processor) and pulse until it forms a uniform texture and consistency. You will seeds in the sauce from the peppers but make sure there are no lumps in the mix.
  • Transfer the pepper mix to medium sized pot. Let it get to a boil and then reduce to simmer, about 20 minutes. Prepare to have your MIND BLOWN with SMOKED SRIRACHA!!!
