Sweet Chilli Sauce

Sweet Chilli Sauce made with Truvia calorie-free sweetener. We love this sauce for BBQ's, for dipping prawns, marinades and for adding something special to Asian-style dishes.

Serving size

250ml

Ingredients

  • 1 large red pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves (crushed)
  • 1/2 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
  • 2 red chillies (with the seeds removed)
  • 60g of fresh dates (stoned)
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp of Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tbsp of Honey
  • 2 Tbsp of Truvia
  • 1/2 Lime, freshly squeezed

Directions

  1. De-skin the pepper by cutting in half, removing the seeds and placing until a hot grill. The skin will start to shrink and darken – remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Remove the skin by peeling away from the flesh. Chop roughly and add to a food processor.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor apart from the lime juice. Add 100ml of water and blitz until smooth.
  3. Transfer the sauce to a saucepan, bring to a simmer and simmer gently for 25-30 mins, stirring regularly until the sauce has thickened slightly. Add a little more water if required to achieve the desired texture or leave thicker.
  4. Remove from the heat and add in the lime juice. Leave to cool a little before transferring to a jar and chilling. For best results refrigerate overnight before serving or using.
