Sweet chilli sauce

This is a hot little number is mitigated by it’s delicious sweetness. A simple quick recipe to spice up any meal. Goes especially well with rice dishes.

Sweet chilli sauce.

2 green jalapenos
2 red jalapenos
6 red cherry tomatoes
4 tsp sugar (I said it was sweet)
2 tbsp mirin
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp ponzu
salt to taste

Technique

Remove the inner pith and seeds from all the chillies and chop very finely.
Chop the cherry tomatoes almost as finely as the chillies.
Mix together in a bowl with all the other ingredients.
Add salt to taste.

This should be quite liquid and if left to stand for a hour or so, the heat of the chillies leeches into the sauce creating a delicious sweet spiciness.
