Classic Tomato-Chili Sauce (Serves 4):

Blend 8 ripe tomatoes, 4 roasted red chilies, 2 garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Simmer in a pan with 1 tbsp oil for 15 minutes until thick. Cool and store in a jar for pasta, grilled meats, or pizza.

Asian Sriracha-Style Sauce (Serves 6):

Combine 10 long red chilies (stemmed), 6 cloves garlic, ½ cup vinegar, ¼ cup sugar, and 1 tsp salt. Blend until smooth, then simmer for 10 minutes. Strain for a smooth texture or leave it chunky. Perfect for stir-fries, noodles, or as a dipping sauce.
