Do you love spicy food? You must try the La Victoria Orange Sauce Recipe. This sauce is famous in California. It is very creamy and hot. Many people call it taco sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Vegetable Oil
- 40 Dried Chile de Arbol Peppers
- 4 Cloves Fresh Garlic
- 1/4 cup White Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 cup Water
Instructions
Toast the Red Peppers
- Put the pan on medium heat. Add the dried peppers. Toss them for two minutes. They should smell very nutty. Do not let them turn black.
Remove the Pepper Stems
- Let the peppers cool down. Pull off the green stems. You can leave the seeds. Seeds make the sauce very hot. Wear gloves for this part.
Peel the Fresh Garlic
- Take the skin off the garlic. You do not need to chop it. The blender will do the work. Fresh garlic is very strong.
Combine the Base Ingredients
- Put peppers in the blender. Add the garlic and vinegar. Pour in the salt. Add a splash of water. Do not add oil yet.
Blend the Pepper Mixture
- Turn the blender on high. Mix until it is a paste. It should look very red. Make sure no big chunks remain.
Add Oil Very Slowly
- Keep the blender running. Pour the oil in a thin stream. This is called emulsifying. The sauce will turn orange. It will become very thick.
Adjust the Final Thickness
- Look at your orange sauce. Add more water if needed. It should pour easily. Taste it with a chip. Add salt if you want.
