This sauce is easiest with a handheld blender, but can be made with a food processor or mortar and pestle as well. My version uses milder peppers, deseeded, and pure dark chocolate powder.
I make a small batch of this sauce, one cup, to keep it fresh for one dinner.

I teach people at the farmers market to grow small scale fruits and vegetables. My grandparents and parents taught me growing, cooking and preserving home grown fruits and vegetables, eggs, meats and fish. I got certified by the University of California Master Gardener Program in 2005. I try to bring out the original flavor of ingredients, then add layers of spices, herbs and flavorings that enhance, not distort the taste. These are the global, organic and vegan family recipes we use.
