Recipe: THAI SWEET PEPPER SAUCE

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 3/4 cup cider or white vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Preparation

Heat the oil in a saucepan over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to prevent burning. When the garlic turns yellow, add the remaining ingredients. Stir and cook until the mixture boils and the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it boil for another 8 minutes before transferring to a serving bowl. Let cool. The sauce will thicken like maple syrup. Or transfer to a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator for up to a month.
