Your nose will know indeed.
Heat oil in a pan and add onions, make them sweat for a while, and add peppers. Stir them together.
Add tomatoes and stir. Cook for about 10 minutes.

Daves Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce is exceptionally hot, featuring famously hot Ghost Peppers plus pure pepper extract. Roasted garlic and a dash of salt and vinegar round out the flavor, making this bitingly hot sauce also tasty for those that can take the heat. We recommend using this sauce as a food additive, adding only a few drops of heat and flavor to your meals and not pouring it all over your food.
