Our newest hot sauce is more of a salsa but not quite. We added tomatoes so you can really sink your chips into it.
Also we don’t put this one threw a sieve but if you want a smoother sauce than you can. With a heat most hot sauce lovers can handle this one will disappear fast!
Hot sauce of the week! We shared a new red pepper hot sauce last week and decided to feature a new one every week! We will start out with an easy one. It’s not spicy, link just smokey and delicious. Perfect for that person who can’t handle the heat but wants a great sauce for their tacos or eggs in the morning. Or if you just want to easy into the heat.
Soak dried peppers in a bowl of hot water for 30 minutes.
Make sure peppers are completely submerged.
I use a heavier smaller blow for this
Or you can use a ziplock bag.
Just make sure it is on a flat surface and you flip it half way through .
Once peppers have soaked pull off stems and discard them.
Some seeds and veins will come with the stems and that's fine.
Not all your peppers will be completely soft, approved that is ok.
Take the chili's, more about garlic, vinegar and blend, adding salt and pepper to taste.
Once done put sauce through a sieve to remove excess solids
Take sauce and put in your favorite jar or container.
Discard leftover solids*
Notes
* if your anything like us chances are you don't like to waste things. As we kept making hot sauces, one thing was bothering us. What to do with the left over solids? We think we are coming up with some great ideas. And if you stay tuned we will share our discoveries.
It’s hot sauce mania here at The Lab. We have been obsessed you could say. It all started with Christmas and has spilled over. Our latest sauces have been gobbled up by everyone and it seems there is not stopping us or them. I can’t believe it started with just wanting to make something nice for Christmas that wouldn’t break my bank account. We are really honing our skills, patient and what we want out of the sauces. From mild and smokey, order to oh my god get me a bucket of water! Our latest is a smoked red pepper hot sauce that has that sweetness of peppers and heat from some red Jalapeño’s. It was inspired by a restaurant in LA that makes the most amazing yellow pepper dipping sauce. One day I will crack that recipe! Here is one of the new ones, enjoy! Oh and don’t forget the homemade corn chips!!!
