    I made this sauce with one pound of cascabel peppers from my garden and it turned out well. I made it again later, starting with a mirapoix base instead of just the red onion, and adding italian seasonings instead of just oregano. I use it as a sauce over chicken parmesan and egplant parmesan, and my family liked it better the second time.
