From our Food Goddess, TaMara:
I kind of knew when I saw JeffreyW’s Fish Taco post this week that I wanted to showcase it tonight. But I wasn’t sure what else I should feature. Then it hit, JeffreyW has a plethora of sauce recipes. I went looking to see which ones I could use. There were 39 pages of sauces on the blog, most of them his. I got two pages in and I had more than enough for tonight. I did sneak two of mine in, neither of which are really mine.
The sauce I get the most requests for is Michael Nightingale’s Piri Piri sauce, recipe here.
And then I decided this would be a nice one, Chicken in Strawberry Adobo Sauce, recipe here.
All the rest are JeffreyW. Here are his homemade versions of: Chipotles in Adobo Sauce (click here), Mornay Sauce (click here), Ancho Sauce (click here) and finally he replicates a local BBQ Sauce (click here).
That’s just a taste of what he’s done over the years. We’ll probably revisit this subject at some point. What’s cooking in your kitchen this weekend? How about sauce recipes, do you have any old family favorites you’d like to share? Before it was widely available, everyone in my family had a Dorothy Lynch dressing recipe in their box. Hit the comments and get to sharing all your recipes.
Finally, tonight’s featured recipe from JeffreyW:
Belizean Style Habanero Hot Sauce
I have been wondering what to do with my habaneros, drying and grinding works but I’ve got enough to last a good while. I went in search of hot sauce recipes. I saw plenty but this one had a nice picture. I stuck fairly close to it and used peaches for the optional fruit because we had a few and I wanted to make it right now! It turned out pretty well:
You can understand why I needed something to use it on! I am sure I’ve seen recipes calling for a nice fruity sauce on fish so I set my sights on tacos. There are plenty of recipes out there and tons of pictures so I started making a shopping list. Green onions, red onions, red cabbage, white cabbage, mangoes, more garlic, tortillas, and etc etc. Too late to use the mangoes in the hot sauce but they are prime ingredients for a nice salsa for a fish taco. I made one sans cilantro, using the chopped mint from the patio, where an escaped mint planting is proving itself to be tougher than we are.
