Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 1 medium-size sweet onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup or 150 grams)
- 2 habanero peppers, seeded and finely chopped
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
Sauce and Preserves:
- ½ cup peach preserves
- 2 large peaches, peeled and chopped
- 1 ½ cups ketchup
Instructions
- Sauté finely diced onions in olive oil over medium heat until they become soft and translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Introduce minced garlic, ginger paste, and finely chopped habanero pepper to the skillet, stirring continuously to prevent burning and releasing their aromatic qualities, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in ketchup, diced fresh peaches, and fruit preserves, reducing heat to low and allowing the mixture to gently simmer and meld flavors for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Incorporate apple cider vinegar into the sauce, using an immersion blender or standard blender to create a smooth, well-integrated consistency.
- Remove sauce from heat and allow to cool completely at room temperature before serving, which will help flavors further develop and intensify.
Notes
- Chop fresh ingredients finely to ensure even distribution and consistent flavor in every bite.
- Store leftover egg rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in an air fryer or oven to maintain crispy texture and prevent sogginess.
- Use corn tortillas as an alternative if egg roll wrappers are unavailable.
- Experiment with protein options like shredded chicken or black beans for variety.
