This fiery, tangy, slightly tart sauce is for my fellow chileheads. It's terrific on pretty much any protein you can think of, and leaves just enough slow, tingly burn on your tongue to get those endorphins flowing.

  • 240ml (1 cup) unseasoned tomato sauce or passata

  • 33g (scant 3 Tbsp) mild molasses
  • 48g (¼ cup) coconut sugar

Procedure
  1. Heat oil in medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add chili powder, smoked paprika, cayenne, ginger, and clove, and bloom for 15-30 seconds until fragrant. Add onion and sauté until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add habanero and garlic, and cook until garlic is fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened and reduced by about 20-25%.
  3. Puree sauce directly in pot with an immersion blender or transfer to standing blender and process until smooth; you should have a little more than 2 cups of sauce. Taste and add more salt or pepper if desired.
  4. Let cool to room temperature, transfer to a jar, and store in refrigerator. Sauce will keep for 3-4 weeks.
Notes
*If you don't have any yellow mustard in the house, substitute 2 teaspoons dry mustard + 2 teaspoons water + 2 teaspoons white or champagne vinegar.
