What do *you* want to be when you grow up?
Cause I don’t think it’ll be as kick-ass as Bean’s idea of being a pirate astronaut.
[recipe] Homemade hot sauce
Ingredients:
500g red jalapeño chiles, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup distilled white vinegar
2 tablespoons palm sugar
Directions:
Place all the ingredients except the sugar in large glass bowl, loosely cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit overnight. This brine helps mellow the heat of the peppers.
Place the mixture and sugar in small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
Blend with an immersion blender (or a food processor/blender) until a smooth, orange-red mixture forms. Run through a strainer and smush out as much juice as possible.
Refrigerate to store.
Notes:
I haven’t tried this yet, but I want to experiment with adding roasted red peppers, or fresh ginger and lime juice, to see how that changes the flavour profile.
