To start, chop the tomatoes, carrots, garlic, and onion and set them aside. In a pan, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the chopped vegetables. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
In a blender, add the cooked vegetables, scotch bonnet peppers, vinegar, mustard, thyme, black pepper, salt, and brown sugar. Blend until smooth and well combined.
Next, transfer the mixture back to the pan and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken.
Once the sauce has reached your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool. Once cooled, transfer it to a jar or bottle and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Now that you have your homemade West Indian chili sauce, it's time to add it to your favorite dishes. Use it as a marinade for meats, a dipping sauce for appetizers, or mix it in with your dishes for an extra kick of flavor. This versatile sauce will surely become a staple in your kitchen!
