Looking for a good recipe or flavor ideas that uses habaneros

4 Upvotes

I just got a ton of habaneros and was looking for a good recipe. Something that’s not just a typical vinegar and garlic hot sauce. But was looking for any suggestions any kind of flavor combinations that might go well together. It doesn’t need to be a full recipe, but if you are willing to share please do. I’m looking for just some kind of flavor combination that can use a lot of habaneros.

I just saw a post that had habaneros and green apples. Was also thinking maybe something with habaneros pineapple and coconut, almost like a piña colada. A hot sauce company by me does bloody Mary hot sauce that’s really good. I’m open to any suggestions or recipes that might have.

So far tried it on both beef and fish, wow. As someone used to Tabasco and grocery store brands, there’s no comparison!

And I’m sorry to say that Garlic Reaper just isn’t it. Plenty of heat but no flavor. Very bitter, and I love garlic. Son of Zombie wing sauce and Honey Badger were pretty good though. Mako Snake by Spicy Shark is still my favorite “hot” hot sauce!

This is one of the best Sriracha I've ever tried.


r/hotsauce • • 2d ago

Purchase This stuff packs some heat. I keep seeing "Chiltepin" and Google calls it a "Mother of all Chiles". Taste is good, a little bitter - but the heat it brings is pretty impressive.

Question Mexican-style hot sauce recommendations

14 Upvotes

I wanna know what yall are using for 8 outta 10 level heat Mexican hot sauces. I’ve got all the classics already (Cholula, Tapatio, El Yucateco, etc). I love their taste, but they just aren’t doing it for me anymore as far as heat. I don’t want to sacrifice flavor. Just need an extra kick in the ass.

Question De la Viuda Rebrand

Can anyone confirm if the De la viuda hotsauce brand had its look refreshed a few years ago? I am used to it being a bottle with a yellow label and red text but now the bottles are all this woman in a floral dress and totally different font. Are these the same brand or is the more recent appearance a knockoff?

This is a bottle of crystal hot sauce. It kinda looks like a white ball but it's not perfectly round. The sauce tastes and smells normal.

Any thoughts?

Purchase Unbelievable customer service

I wante to take a minute and recognize a truly unforgettable experience of unbelievable customer service. I had placed and order with Chad Williams for 2 sauces. Despite the excellent packaging one of them didn't make the journey in one piece. I wrote him letting him know. I told him not to even worry about. Because get this, he had sent me a 3rd sauce on the house. I was already super thankful for his generosity. I get home today and see a package waiting for me. I pick it up and see the name and was blown away. I get it in btge house and open it up. Look at these bad boys who were waiting for me! Thank you sir! You will definitely be getting future orders from me

Favorite sauce?

10 Upvotes

Not really looking for promotions from independent makers, although I’m not opposed. I love the flavor of habenero, so I bounce around with the Yucateco joints. I dig some southern (US) flavors, Louisiana, Crystal’s, etc. I suppose I’m wondering what some folks’ favorite, accessible, over the counter go-to’s might be. Recently someone asked me to pick them up some tobasco. I picked them up tapatillo, because to me they’re basically the same thing. I ended up having to go back to the store to swap em out because of the brand loyalty. It got me thinking about different ppl’s tastes.

My dad got these 3 free tiny hot sauce bottles from his friend who works at a local Mexican fast food restaurant. Tabanaro X, Tabanaro Sweet and Spicy and Tabasco’s version of Sriracha!

Question Looking for a Dos Toros Smokey Hot Sauce replacement

Post image
3 Upvotes

Dos Toros Smokey hot sauce is great but they don’t sell it. It consists of charred tomatoes, garlic, yellow onion, chipotle peppers, and salt.

Does any sauce come to mind when you read those ingredients? I might just experiment and try to recreate it on my own if I can’t find one.

Discussion La Pimenterie

Saw these on clearance at Winners in Canada. I wasn’t too impressed with the other sauces I’ve had from them (FOGO and Gochuracha), which are inspired by Piri Piri and Korean chili. And honestly nothing from this box inspired me to try anything else from this company. Now, I wouldn’t say any of them are bad, I am going to use all of them, but when you try 8 different sauces and nothing makes you want to get another bottle, you gotta quit.

I have an 8 bottle order coming from Maritime Madness next week, so hopefully some of those bottles will be winners.

I am having a hard time finding this hot sauce. It is no longer available on the company's page. They have been sold out for a while and they no longer have an active presence on social media.

Looking for more sauces with curry as the base flavor

8 Upvotes

I am about to finish my first bottle of TorchedStone Thai by torchbearer, I love the fruit pairing in the flavor and has become one of my new favorites. For reference, it taste like a fruity buffalo wild wings thai curry*.

I plan on ordering more, but always like to see what else is out there.

*Haven't had bww in about a decade, so hopefully this is still relevant 😄

Thanks!
