Best Hot Sauce

[debbiedee]

I tried all the hot sauces there are and I have to say that making your own is quite easy and VERY HOT.....

Easy Recipe and cheap one to is....

Buy a box of chillies from super market (10 pesos)

Get an old bottle (Olive oil bottles are perfect...)

Chop or slice chilies putting the seeds and chillies in the bottle

Get a bottle of Vinagre de naranja (orange vinager) from Super market or local market (25 pesos)

Pour it in, store it in your fridge and hey presto you've got the perfect way to spice up your rice and beans...... Let me know what you think... I am sure you will anyway... LOL

Fritura

Mirador's recipe is essentially for the hot sauce that is widely available at frituras (fried food stands) around the country. This can be quite hot and tasty. It uses bitter orange instead of vinegar to provide pungency. Though not at all "Buffalo style", it's still great on wings.

Franks Red Hot is the sauce that the Anchor Bar - originator of "Buffalo wings" - uses as the base for its recipe. It is not, however, from Louisiana. Durkee grows its peppers in Mexico and New Mexico and prepares its mash in Missouri.

Baldom's Ranchero hot sauce is a Louisiana-style vinegar/cayenne-based hot sauce available at every Dominican supermarket. It's a reasonably good example of this type of hot sauce, and has quite a bit more kick than Franks.

My personal favorite is Miss Anna's hot pepper appetite sauce, available only in the Virgin Islands or on the web (Miss Anna's Hot Pepper Sauce). Extra pungent and extra hot, with lots of exotic spices.

ok here is my recipe for hot sauce:

in a blender put 2 medium tomatoes and depending how hot you would like the sauce add fresh hot chile peppers, 2 to 3 serrano peppers or 1 or 2 jalapenos, a clove of garlic, a little oregano, salt to taste and blend away, you can liquify or leave it chunky , you can add chopped cilantro at the end and for a nice dip for chips, or tostones, also small pieces of avocado.

I love my sauces hot. It must be the Indian in me.... I'm taking note of all the recipes here.... As it's also been mentioned by Mirador and Chirimoya, I just wondered if anybody knew if there were any places to buy ceviche around Sosua? I went to a few ceviche restaurants when I was in Lima and I was hooked.

BTW I bought a very hot sauce at an International wine and food fayre in London - It was called Red Rectum......no word of a lie........it was manufactured by a company that specialised in chilli sauces. Never seen it anywhere else since but it was very hot indeed..........

M.A.R., I usually go for wild hot peppers, which I usually obtain from friends and neighbors around San Juan de la Maguana. However, I have to settle for what's available, and today I found something similar to your "serrano" peppers in the Pola (of Sarasota) Supermarket in SD, for about RD$28 pesos a package (for the benefit of those stuck to a budget...;-). Here's a pic of what I bought. These are good for the "agrio" type of hot sauce.

Traditional Brazilian Hot Sauce, which they call Pimenta.

Find a bottle, fill it with Malagueta peppers (the little red and green ones that you can find here in the market) and either olive oil or vinegar. Let it sit over time. Gets nice and hot but not too hot and the flavor of these exquisite peppers is fantastic. Brazilians spray it over their rice and beans.
