Ingredients

  • 1 cup banana peppers chopped/(see note 1)
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon honey (see note 2)
  • 2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon Salt or to taste

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Add chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook for 5 minutes or until it turns soft(don't let it turn brown).
  • Toss chopped banana peppers in the pan.
  • Then stir in honey, white vinegar, salt, and pepper.
  • Remove from the heat and let it cool down to room temperature.
  • Then transfer to the blender and blend until smooth.
  • Use it on grilled meats, as a spread, or in salads.

Notes

  1. Banana peppers have a mild heat; remove the seeds and membrane for a milder sauce or use hot banana peppers for extra spice.
  2. Honey enhances the sauce’s sweetness and thickness; for a vegan option, substitute with maple syrup or agave nectar.
  3. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze in ice cube trays for up to 3 months.
  4. Reheat gently on the stovetop or at room temperature; stir well before using.
