Hot pepper sauce

[tom.svg]

I made a Caribbean style hot pepper sauce yesterday, using fresh Scotch Bonnet peppers, which I blended with herbs and spices. I followed a generations’ old method, but I added a modern twist.

God, it was hot!! It’s not for the feint hearted!

Sounds great Tom. What's your recipe? Where did you manage to find the peppers? I've never come across them here (assuming you live in Japan).

The peppers are readily available from a market in my hometown in the UK, but that’s due to the sizeable Caribbean community. I never came across them in Japan.

Tell you what:

I’ll try to sneak some in when I arrive for the GP summer party. I’ll make some if someone would be kind enough to loan me the use of their kitchen. Like I said, it’s not for the feint hearted!

It can't be that hot. I've had hot stuff in Mexico and Thailand, managed to become inured to foods loaded with large heaping handfuls of peppers, chilies, herbs and spices.

Have you tried Scotch Bonnet peppers before? They’re not to be confused with chillies, or Tabasco sauce. Check out the links below, paying particular attention to the "Heat Index" in the 2nd link.

My home made stuff would come under the "Local Pepper Sauce" category.

i have not checked the site.
but have you ever drunk tabasco? not the classic, but the abanero one, probabaly not right spelling, one way is to eat stuff marinated with hot sauces, the other is to drink or eat the sauces directly, it is a huge difference i can tell you
but i am looking forward to the party.

This is absolutely correct! A jalapeno or some Asian chilies can be eaten raw (whole). I have a very high tolerance for spicy foods but concede that it would be foolhardy to do the same with a habanero. I think the likely result could be referred to as "injurious".

yep, injurious or a killer,
i almost addicted to it, i have to have it on any dry dish.

Jalapenos are not really all that hot. Back in New Mexico I’ve eaten them right off the bush. I needed another Negro Modelo pretty quick after that but it wasn’t traumatic. Much hotter fresh than canned or cooked.

But the Habanero – no way Jose. Those are supposed to be the hottest chiles in the world. Yes, chiles are different things entirely from peppers so it's hard to compare them directly.

Habaneros are grown in Japan but unfortunately – from what I was told – the entire crop is emulsified and used as an organic pesticide. None of it gets channeled for human consumption.

When I worked at the original Hilton we had a smartass Japanese chef and during a promotion there were several chefs over from Martinique to do their stuff. They had a chutney that 'they' referred to as mild but was roaring hot on the typical Japanese palate. The idiot was convinced to try a spoonful and I've never seen someone run for water so quick in my life.

Truthfully, the pickles were really good! I'll pass the link on to my GF. She likes the 'Died Gone To Hell and Returned as a Zombie' hotsauces and other super hot and spicy dishes.

not to generalize, but i find the all the japanese people i have eaten hot stuff with, had a quite low tolerance in hot dishes, they just sweat very easily, and can't take too much of that, probably their palate is quite sensitive.

what is hot for them, is not as hot to me.

There's a brand of habanero sauces made in Belize called "Marie Sharp's" that I buy at Meiji Ya. They're quite good and pleasantly-to-very hot. Any bottled Jerk sauce is also a good bet, although the homemade stuff reigns supreme.

Papaya is sometimes added to the Scotch Bonnet pepper mix to cool things down a bit. In terms of tolerances for hot spice sauces, I think that you have to build your resistance up over time.

My great-grandmother use to add whole Scotch Bonnet peppers to her cooking to give it an extra bang. When finished, she’d eat the peppers – whole!

Hey Tom san, how are ya?. Please get me some Scotch Bonnet pepper too :). I love Jerk chicken and I tried to make my own Jerk chicken sauce and looked for Scotch Bonnet pepper all over but to no avail.
If you ever go to Kobe, try going to a Jamaican restaurant call "Jamaicana" owned by a Jamaican man. Their goat curry and Jerk chicken are awsome!!. So hope to see you this summer.

Hey Foxy,

It's interesting you mentioning jerk sauce. Sadly, I'm allergic to it - there's something in the ingredients that upsets my stomach. So, while I have no problems with firery pepper sauces, I have to stay well clear of the jerk.

Maybe the allspice? I reckon you'd know if it were any of the other ingredients like the thyme, garlic, vinegar etc. My most sincere condolences.:<
