Introduction
This version of arrabbiata makes no secret of it's spice - with two habaneros, you're in for fire! The rest of the ingredients balance the heat perfectly though, and the mix is an enjoyable one on any type of food! Inspiration came right from our garden - the stepdad planted "Scotch Bonnet" peppers thinking they were another type of small sweet reds. Boy, was he wrong after his first pepper sandwich! If you really can't take the heat, add a splash of heavy cream to the mix at the end to temper it. This version of arrabbiata makes no secret of it's spice - with two habaneros, you're in for fire!

Ingredients
-
2 tsp olive oil
1 large, sweet onion, peeled and quartered
1 large carrot, roughly cut
2 sweet bell peppers (1 used 1 cubanelle, 1 Shepherd), seeded and quartered
2 habanero peppers, seeded and halved
6 cloves garlic
3 lbs fresh tomatoes (mostly plum if you can), halved or quartered
1/4 cup red wine
1 sprig fresh thyme (I used my lemon thyme)
1 small sprig fresh rosemary, leaves stripped (about 1/2 tbsp)
1 tsp dried basil (was all I had, you could definitely use fresh at the end instead)
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 packets stevia (or 4 tsp sugar)
1 tsp lemon juice
Directions
In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil.
In a food processor, place the onion quarters and finely chop (do this by hand if you dont have one, or really like chopping!).
Add to the pot and slowly cook, stirring, until golden and meltingly soft (about 10 minutes)
In the food processor, finely chop the carrots and add to the cooked onions.
Raise the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes.
Process all the peppers and the garlic until minced (especially the habaneros!) and add to the pot. Cook, stirring, 7-8 minutes.
Puree all the tomatoes in the processor.
When peppers are tender, add the wine and stir well, then stir in the tomatoes, thyme sprig, rosemary, basil and salt.
Lower heat to medium low and cook, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 - 2 hours, until no longer "liquidy".
Remove from heat.
With an immersion blender, regular blender or food processor (since it's out), puree the sauce until smooth (or the texture you like).
Stir in the stevia (or sugar) and lemon juice and serve or store.
