05 Step
Recipe View
Rest and Intensify: Allow the Finadene to sit at room temperature for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the heat from the chilies to infuse the sauce more intensely. (15-20 minutes)
Adjust the chili peppers to your desired level of heat. Start with one chili and add more to taste.
For a milder flavor, soak the chopped onions in ice water for 10 minutes before adding them to the sauce. This helps to mellow their sharpness.
Finadene is best served fresh, but it can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavor will continue to develop over time, becoming spicier.
Experiment with different types of vinegar, such as rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar, for unique flavor variations.
Serve Finadene with grilled meats, fish, chicken, rice, or vegetables. It's also a delicious dipping sauce for lumpia or spring rolls.

May 22, 2025Be careful with the chilies! I used habaneros and it was almost too hot to handle. But still delicious!
