Did you use whole almonds? I used flaked, and that might have been a mistake.
I used flaked yeah. And pine nuts.
Just watch the oil temp. Recipe says medium high, I think thats too hot.
OK, got around to making this again. This time I used whole garlic cloves, and watched it so they wouldn't burn. I also only made 1/2 the recipe which is enough.
It's OK, not as Earth-shattering as the person in the link says. Might try different chilis the next time. The Pasilla are very mild, and are smoky. So with the smokiness of the Chipotle and Pasilla combined, it's mild and quite smoky.
I might also try adding pine nuts, as per the Nal.
@The Nal Any suggestions of other chilis to use?
I used ancho chilis. Defo not a mild taste. Its smoky and nutty. Its not that spicy though.
I've created a "blend" accidentally and it's gorgeous!
Aldi barbeque sriracha sauce blended with the sauce they include in their chicken thigh bites (frozen in a box)
Had 1/2 bottle of the sriracha and had an excess of the sauce with the chicken and rather than bin it, I combined the two.
Not a HOT sauce, but a wonderfully tasty combo with some nice heat and especially good with chicken.
I bought abra kebabra brand "ultimate chilli sauce" recently. Honestly, on the scoville scale it's about one step up from regular ketchup. Will not be getting it again.
I have given up on my local Tesco ever stocking El Yucateca but i had the bonus today of finding two lone bottles of Encona West Indian Original on the shelf. They were the 285ml squeezy bottles, going for the princely sum of €1.99 each. Duly purchased!
Botanera.
Very tasty, salty, seems very moreish from a brief sample. I can see why it's popular.
EUR2.95 is affordable.
Back to the affordable and reliable Encona.
Nice sharp tang, and just enough heat to give you a little endorphin rush. Nice. 🔥
Get Fresh in Rathfarnham have a whole load of chilis in. Red and yellow Habaneros, Carolina Reapers, Naga chilis.
I love it, the perfect amount of heat for my taste.
+1 on any of the Encona hot sauces. The hottest one (5 peppers on label) really is hot.
Anyway came to post here about my disappointment today with Aldi's "Italian Style Hot Sauce". Its rated 2 star - mild, but I can't taste anything hot about it at all. Nice and tomatoee if that's what you are looking for.
In Lidl. I've regularly eaten their noodles, so this will be interesting.
I recently came across Melindas range of sauces.
Creamy ghost pepper and Sriracha and the best I've ever tasted.
You will have to google them..Ive no idea about uploading photos 😁
Had a bottle of the black truffle hot sauce. Binned it.
I wont try it so!
Had another one that was nice, cant remember which. More of a traditional hot sauce. This stuff was just may with heat and fake truffle.
Should taken The Beer Rs advice
😀
Its 2 on their heat scale on the bottle so I wouldn't have gone near it regardless.
Going to try this..Upload a photo and the actual sauce😉. Hot as hell I'd say!
Ah yeah now we're talking!
How was it? Their noodles are actually hot.
It is good and hot while I think its a bit chemical I used a bottle of it up on noddle's quick enough.
Yep, pretty hot. Very like the packet you get in the same noodles.
Yeah, I had something similar, can taste the artificial sweeteners in the stuff. Not for me!
I bought it again.
Very gingery, and gives scalp sweats.
You need it!
Where did you get it?
People often just assume green is mild and red is hot, they could get it badly wrong with that one!
Indian shop 👍️
It's made from habaneros, despite the picture on the bottle.
There's an Asian supermarket near me just about to open up (we've all sorts of Eastern European ones but no Asian ones) so I'll be sure to check it out
My ex could not handle spice at all. What Id call mild she would call spicy and what I'd call slightly tingly was too much for her.
This one time in an asian restaurant she ordered the Thai green curry expecting a nice mild curry and even I found it spicy. I ended up eating hers and mine.
Yes, green chillies tend to be hotter than red ones of the same species AFAIK.
Has anyone tried this lot before? Cape Herb & Spice sauces.
The Ghost, Habanero and Smoky Chipotle flavours have all turned up in my Tesco at €5 for 200ml and i was wondering were they any use?
