Serve this sauce over black beans or fish.
Makes about 1 cup
2 or 3 fresh chiles (such as malagueta, Tabasco, or habanero), seeded and chopped 1 red onion, chopped (about 2 cups) 1 garlic clove, pressed and minced 1/2 cup fresh lemon or lime juice 1/2 tsp. salt
In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients and puree just until a coarse sauce is produced. If using a blender, you may have to stop several times and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula. To prepare by hand, mince the chiles, onions, and garlic and mix in the lemon juice and salt. Let the flavors meld for at least an hour at room temperature or for 3 hours refrigerated. Serve at room temperature. - Updated: January 16, 2007
