How to Make Tabasco-Style Sauce at Home

Add a Mexican-inspired hot sauce to your meals! My husband loves spicy food, so this Tabasco-style sauce is a must-have at our table. Be sure to try it — it gives your favorite dishes a whole new dimension. Classic Tabasco doesn't actually contain tomatoes; it's made with jalapeño peppers. Since I didn't have those, this is my adaptation to what's on hand.

  • Let's get started:
    • Wash the tomatoes and score a small X in the skin on top of each one.
    • Put the tomatoes in a bowl, cover with vigorously boiling water, let them sit for 1–2 minutes, then transfer them to ice water.
    • After that the skins slip right off; peel the tomatoes and put them in a blender.
    • Rinse the green onion, chop it roughly, and add it after the tomatoes.
    • Peel the garlic, wash the parsley, and cut the hot pepper into rings (remove the seeds if you'd like it milder). Add everything to the blender.
    • Pulse to break it all down, then add the wine vinegar and vegetable oil, season with salt, and blend again.
    • Pour the finished sauce into a saucepan and set it over the heat.
    • Cook for 10 minutes from the moment it comes to a boil.
  • Your fragrant sauce is ready to enjoy!
