Thread: Hot Sauces

Another hot sauce lover here!

I only have a few in my arsenal; mainly habanero-based sauces. The wife thinks I'm crazy for having a few bottles.

I don't like the ones that have a strong vinegar flavor or texture, like Tabasco. My main bottles are the Sriracha and Yucatan Sunshine Habanero hot sauces.

Here we go chaps...

Ingredients:

4 cloves of minced garlic
1 cup of diced red onion
3 cups of diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
2 medium chili peppers
4 habanero peppers, seeded
1 cup of distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons white sugar

Directions:
1. Over medium heat in a large saucepan, heat oil and add the onion, chili peppers, habanero peppers and garlic. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the onions begin to brown. Stir continuously.
2. Reduce heat. Add the vinegar, tomatoes, salt and sugar. Stir until the tomatoes break down. Roughly 6 minutes.
3. Place mixture in blender and blend until a puree is formed.
4. Pour mixture through a fine mesh sieve.
5. Let mixture cool for an hour.

Yes, it is a cast iron pan. More about that here.

I went to my regular Wegmans to see what they had in stock, and to my surprise the selection was terrible. So I just picked up some green Tabasco and found out I LOVE IT.

Green Tobasco is one of those great, unsung hot sauces. More flavor to it than regular Tobasco.

Anyone here like Cholula? nothing too fancy, not to hot eaither, but man does it have a nice taste.

I love Cholula. I have a few big bottles of it in stock, which I got from BJ's Wholesale Club. The heat is low for me, but I love the flavor.

Love me some hot sauce. All Tabasco is great but I'm especially partial to the habanero version, it's quite a bit toothier than the others and just seems to add a lot of flavor along with a lot of hot.
