If using dried Calabrian chilies, soak them in warm water for about 15 minutes until softened.

After soaking, drain the chilies and remove the stems.

In a food processor, combine the soaked chilies, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and salt.

Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency.

Taste the paste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Transfer the chili paste to a clean jar and leave some space at the top.

Seal the jar and store it in the refrigerator.

Use as a condiment or ingredient in various dishes.
