Smoked Sriracha Sauce

Since Sriracha as we know and love it is fermented, tagging this bold-tasting hot sauce made with red Fresno chiles as such is technically a misnomer. Still, giving the chiles a 15-minute session in the stovetop smoker gives the finished sauce enough grounding and complexity to be worthy of the name. Special equipment: You’ll need a stovetop smoker.

Directions

60 min.
1. Step

Smoke the chiles for 5 minutes in a hot smoker over wood chips, preferably maple.

2. Step

Meanwhile, bring both vinegars to a boil. Add the carrots, garlic, and brown sugar. Simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Let everything cool for about 30 minutes.

3. Step

Pull the stems off the chiles. If you want to remove the seeds (this is optional—I like to leave them in), scoop them out with your fingers and discard.

4. Step

Place the chiles, vinegar-vegetable mixture, olive oil, salt, and 1/ cup of the water in a blender.

5. Step

Blend on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Check the consistency—add the remaining 1/4 cup of water and blend again. If you like it thinner, add up to 1/4 cup additional water and blend again.

6. Step

Pour the chile sauce into jars and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
