Every once in a while we have some free time at work and I like to make something out of what’s around. As most of you know, see this is one of my favorite things to do. We always have a few ingredients lying around, buy information pills like dough, medications onions, eggs, among other random items. So on this rare slow day, I decided to put some of these ingredients to use. Well, we did plan this the day before, as we needed a few extra ingredients, but you get the picture. It turned out so good, my colleague’s said I had to write about it. As usual I didn’t really measure, but don’t let that stop you, it’s quite easy to make. This is a recipe for two tarts. We make dough in huge quantities so if you only want one tart cut recipe in half, but use one whole onion. Also, I don’t know how much commercial store bought dough makes, so use your best judgement. Of course homemade dough is best!
My dear friend Shawn made the most incredible deviled eggs. Well, clinic to be fair, sickness
his deep fried deviled eggs are the most incredible. One day I will get that recipe! This recipe is a close second, more about
if I do say so myself. He used our hot sauce, some butter and turn deviled eggs on their head, again. Here is what he did:
He hard boiled eggs, mixed equal parts room temperature butter with the egg yolks, added sautéed garlic, salt and pepper to taste. Grilled the egg whites in the pan that he sautéed the garlic in. Then, put mixture back in egg whites and sprinkled the plate with our Sweet Tart hot sauce to dip the deviled eggs into. Simple but, incredible.
As you all know we are now making hot sauces. What started out as Christmas gifts has blown up to be a part time business. Hopefully this year we can make it a full time job. But in the meantime people keep asking us what we use our hot sauce for? Well we like to put it on anything that will stand still. But not everyone is like us, shop so here are a few of our favorite things…
Deviled eggs
Who doesn’t love deviled eggs??? What we do is instead of mustard we add a little hot sauce in the mayonnaise and egg yolk mixture to give it a little kick and a drop on top for decoration.
Hot wings
The Super Bowl favorite or an Oscar guilty pleasure. If you’ve made hot wings at home you can just imagine what out hot sauce will do to those little bits of mouth watering chickadees. Yum!
Pasta salad
Just like the deviled eggs, add a little to your potato salad for a nice punch and an unexpected heat that your guests will love and wonder how you did it.
Chicken salad
This is one of my favorites. I mix this with chicken, mayonnaise, a dash of mustard, celery, carrots and red onions, sometimes a little cilantro, and presto you have the beginning of a great salad or wrap or sandwich.
There are so many things you can do with our hot sauces. Treat them like an ingredient in your kitchen arsenal. Let your imagination go wild. That’s what we do! We hope you like the tips and will use them and create your own fun dishes. Till next time, spicy love to all!!
Is Pumpkin and Potato soup your new staple for this fall and winter? We think so, and here’s why. Jason and I received an invite to our friends annual pumpkin party this last weekend and were told to make something with pumpkin. It was requested that I make Paula Deens pumpkin gooey cake. No problem. I love it and it’s become a staple in our Thanksgiving meals. It even replaces the pumpkin pie! But we also wanted to bring a savory dish as well. Our first thought was pumpkin and potato mash. A side dish Jason grew up with. But as we cooked every thing and started to put it together we noticed that it was looking and tasting like a great soup. So we added some vegetable stock to thin it out a bit and next thing you know we had an amazing soup! Jason also added a bit of our Home Wrecker hot sauce for a little surprise. At the party people were practically licking their bowls, or was that just us?! We recreated the recipe here. It’s easy and very un-fussy. The hardest part is cutting up the pumpkin. But it’s worth it as you get to roast the seeds! With fall and winter settling in remember your new best friend, pumpkin and potato soup. It’s the perfect starter or side dish with a grilled turkey and cheese sandwich.
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!
This year we decided to make hot sauces for Christmas. To say it has been an experiment is a bit of an understatement. You’d think easy, hospital right? We’ll not so easy. It’s sort of like a martini. There may only be a couple ingredients, pilule but if they aren’t in the right proportions you’re screwed. Or like us, visit this site running out of the kitchen, opening all your windows and gasping for air. Talk about a gift that keeps on giving! We practically drank a whole gallon of milk and consumed almost a whole bag of chips. But we kept going and I think we came up with some compelling sauces. Just don’t ask us to remake them! Of course we do have a couple that can be remade and here is one that is sure to please even the most sensitive pallet.
2 Pasilla dried peppers
2 Ancho dried peppers
1 Chipotle dried pepper
1 garlic clove
1 cup of vinegar
salt and pepper
Soak peppers in warm water till they are soft. Pull off stems and discard. Some of the inside guts will come with the stem, that’s fine. Save chile water. Put chiles in blender and add garlic, vinegar and a little salt and pepper. Blend till mixed. You can also use food processor. If you want a chunky sauce then you are done. If you want a thinner sauce, then use a sieve the get all the chunks out. If it is still too thick then add some of the chile water to get the consistency you want.
