Soundtrack:"Hot Lava" by Kudu fromDeath of the Party
This is my attempt to replicate the oh-so-slammin' hot sauce at the Senegalese restaurant Joloff, my favorite eatery in New York City. This version is only slightly hot, but if you really want that fire add one more habanero chile.
Ingredients
Yield: 1 cup
Step 1
• In a saucepan over low heat, warm the oil. Add the onion, cumin, cayenne, and 1/2 teaspoon salt and sauté until the onions start to caramelize, about 8 minutes.
Step 2
• Stir in the garlic and chile and sauté for 2 minutes more. Add the tomato paste, tomato sauce, vinegar, and water. Mix well, and simmer until it starts to thicken, about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
• Transfer all the ingredients to an upright blender, add the white pepper, and puree until smooth. Season with additional salt to taste. Store in a tightly sealed jar in the refrigerator.

Pretty decent. Tasted like spicy spaghetti sauce at first. Added an extra pepper and let the flavors marry overnight and the sauce turned out pretty well.

This was hot but not overly - perfect for the fritters. Made for a nice New Year's meal.

This sauce is sooooo good. I made a quadruple batch for New Year's to go along with the black-eyed pea fritters and got so many compliments. This was easy to make and the heat level was just perfect. This is likely something I'll make to keep on hand in the fridge from now on - my husband loved it. The only substitution I made in the recipe was using black pepper instead of white because that's all I had + I accidentally added it in with the tomato products, so it was cooked in.

Followed the basic recipe, but used several big thai chili peppers because I wanted the pepper flavor to dominate. Also used more cayenne and white pepper for more pop. Also, like four cloves of garlic. Awesome place to start for any pepper sauce I'd imagine.

This hot sauce IS slammin -- full of flavor and so easy to make! It's just the right blend of sweet and spicy. The carmelized onions add a smoky flavor. It's not overly spicy either, which I like because I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy food.
