Instructions

Combine peppers, onion, dates, basil, parsley, tomato, bouillon powder, and garlic in a food processor. Add oil and pulse until finely chopped, adding more oil as needed to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt to taste.
Transfer the pepper mixture to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice, reduce heat to low, and let simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Allow the hot sauce to cool completely before transferring it to a glass jar with a lid. Store your homemade pepper sauce in the refrigerator for optimal freshness.
