We made a hot pepper marinade using habanero peppers — fiery heat tempered by tangy vinegar and a touch of sugar for balance. It’s bright, bold, and versatile: use it as a finishing glaze, a quick marinade, or a spicy sauce to liven up weeknight meals. Interested in recipes? We’ll share them with anyone who wants them.
Recipe ideas
Habanero Stir-Fry
Toss your protein (chicken, shrimp, or firm tofu) in the marinade for 10–20 minutes. Stir-fry with high-heat oil, garlic, bell peppers, and sliced onions. Finish with a splash more marinade and a squeeze of lime. Serve over steamed rice or noodles.
Fiery Veggie Bowl
Roast a mix of potatoes, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts. Toss with the marinade after roasting and finish under the broiler for a minute to caramelize. Top with toasted seeds and fresh herbs.
Habanero BBQ Wings
Marinate wings for 2–6 hours, then bake or fry until crispy. Toss in warmed marinade mixed with a bit of butter to coat. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds.
Storage and use tips
Start small: the habanero heat is potent — add the marinade a little at a time when mixing into dishes.
Balance: if a dish becomes too hot, add acidity (lime juice or vinegar) or sweetness (honey or sugar) to soften the burn.
Refrigerate after opening and use within a few weeks for best flavor.
