Fermented Hot Sauce with a Difference!

Recipe type: Hot Sauce
Cuisine: Louisiana
Serves: 8lt
 
Today’s episode is very exciting. We’re going to make a Tabasco style hot sauce with a difference. The idea for this came from a small Portuguese restaurant down the road from me. They produce a famous hot sauce with a secret ingredient that just rounds off the flavour beautifully. Anyway, not long ago the old lady that owned the restaurant and produced the sauce retired, and decided it was OK to share the secret ingredient with me. I was quite surprised at how simple it was…. Alcohol.
Ingredients
  • 1200g Tabasco peppers
  • 1200g White sugar
  • 6lt Water
  • 6g Distiller's yeast
  • 6g Yeast activator
  • 6g Yeast nutrient
  • 6g Diammonium phosphate
  • 130g Himalayan rock salt
  • 100g White sugar
  • 1200ml White vinegar
  • 2.5ml Xanthum gum
  • 60ml Bottles for bottling
Instructions
  1. This recipe will make just under 8 litres of Tabasco-style sauce.
  2. Trim the stalks from a load of Tabasco chillis, and measure out 1200g of the chillis. You can also use birds-eye, serrano, or any other hot chilli peppers. It is important to weigh the peppers after trimming the stalks, otherwise your quantities will be incorrect.
  3. Transfer the peppers to your food processor along with 1 litre of water and process these until quite fine. If your processor is on the smaller side, this may have to be done in batches.
  4. Transfer the machined peppers to a large non-reactive pot and add 1200g of white sugar and another 5 litres of water.
  5. Place the pot over medium heat and heat the mixture up to 70c or 158f. This will pasteurize the mixture and dissolve the sugar.
  6. Remove the pot from the heat, put the lid on and allow this to cool to 35c or 95f before continuing.
  7. As the mixture starts getting closer to 35c, start to prepare your fermentation ingredients. These include 6g of distiller’s yeast, 6g of yeast nutrient, 6g of yeast activator and 6g of diammonium phosphate.
  8. Measure out 200ml of warm water at 35c or 95f. Add the yeast and the yeast activator. Stir this briefly and put it aside for 15 minutes.
  9. Pour the chilli mixture from the pot into a large fermentation vessel. This can be anything from a large food-grade bucket to a purpose-built fermenter. You will notice how I have poured everything but the very last bit of mixture into the pot. All the pepper seeds sink to the bottom of the mixture during the pasteurization process, and these will be left in the pot.
  10. Add the yeast nutrient and diammonium phosphate to the fermentation vessel and stir these in.
  11. Pour in the activated yeast solution and stir this in.
  12. Place the lid on your fermentation vessel. If you are using a food grade bucket for the fermentation, make sure your fermentation bubbler is in place and filled.
  13. After 24 hours, all the solids will have risen to the top of the liquid. The yeast is giving off massive amounts of CO2 and this latches on to the solids and makes them float to the top. CO2 also collects below this carpet of solids causing fascinating bulges in the carpet of solids. Use a sterilized spoon to stir the solids back into the liquid. This will release most of the trapped CO2 and prevent this carpet from causing any fungal growth along the top of the vessel.
  14. This process will be repeated every day for 6-7 days until the fermentation slows down, and most of the solids remain at the bottom of the fermentation vessel.
  15. It can take anything from 10-14 days for the fermentation to be totally complete. The complete fermentation can be noted by the complete absence of bubbling or foaming, and on tasting the liquid, there is no sugar remaining in the liquid. This means that the yeast has completely consumed all the sugar in the solution, and fermentation has finished. There will also be a very noticeable alcoholic aroma to the liquid along with the strong pepper aroma.
  16. Pour the fermented solution through a fine sieve into a large non-reactive pot. Once again, I am leaving the last little bit in the vessel. This is mostly comprised of seeds that we missed on the first pouring, yeast cells and a little of the solids.
  17. Use a silicon spatula to stir the solid pulp around in the sieve. This allows the remaining liquid to escape through the sieve. It also helps to scrape the outside of the sieve down as well. Once the pulp has reached half of its original quantity, transfer the pulp to a tall jug.
  18. Use you stick blender to machine this to a very fine paste. You may have to do this in batches.
  19. Rinse the sieve, then return the paste to the sieve. Use a clean spatula to stir this around, once again forcing the fine particles and liquid to escape into the pot. Once this pulp has reduced to half, return the unfiltered pulp to the tall jug and process it again using your stick blender.
  20. Pour the reprocessed pulp into the pot and stir it into the pepper liquid.
  21. Add 130g of Himalayan rock salt. This is 2% of the total volume of the liquid at this stage of the process.
  22. Add 100g of sugar and stir this in. We are not trying to sweeten the liquid. 100g of sugar will barely be discernible in this quantity of liquid. It is added to temper and smooth the burn of the peppers.
  23. This is followed by 1.2 litres of white vinegar.
  24. Place the pot over medium heat and once again heat the liquid to a temperature of 70c or 158f. This time round the pasteurization is purely to kill any remaining yeast in the sauce. If you skip this step and proceed straight to the next step, your bottled product may burst once sealed, due to renewed fermentation.
  25. Transfer 550ml of the sauce to a tall jug. Add 2.5ml or a half teaspoon of Xanthan gum to the jug. Use your stick blender to beat this into the sauce. The sauce will thicken to a syrupy consistency that will coat the back of a spoon.
  26. The Xanthan gum effectively suspends all the microscopic solid particles in the liquid, ensuring that you will have no precipitation of solids in the sauce. Notice how the sauce has lightened in colour. This is an optical illusion caused by billions of microscopic bubbles in the sauce introduced during the blending process. After a few hours the bubbles will rise to the top of the liquid and the colour will return to its original deep red hue.
  27. Continue with the remaining sauce until all of it has been stabilized and thickened, then proceed to bottling and you are done.
Troubleshooting
  1. ) If your fermentation stops and there is still sugar present in the sauce, add another 6g of yeast to restart the fermentation.
  2. ) If mould starts to grow on the carpet of chilli solids, you probably skipped the pasteurization process, or your equipment was not sterile. Skim the mould off the top and continue as normal.
  3. )If fermentation fails persistently, you have not used all of the fermentation ingredients. You cannot successfully ferment the sauce without the yeast activator, nutrient and diammonium phosphate. The high sugar and acid levels in the sauce will kill the yeast without these additives.

  10. Increase the heat to high and pour in the combined beef stock and wine.
  11. Bring this to a boil and continue cokoing until the liquid has almost reduced to nothing.
  12. Turn the heat down to a simmer and add the mixed herbs and spices. Stir this in thoroughly and allow this simmer gently for 20 minutes.

Mrs HS Ball's Chutney is one of South Africa's greatest contributions to the culinary world. In SA it is a household name, and it is also exported to North America, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. This is how to make your own Mrs Balls chutney at home.
Ingredients
  • 650g Dried peaches
  • 250g Dried Apricots
  • 1 Liter + 1.25 liters Brown grape vinegar
  • 2.5kg White sugar
  • 500g Onion chopped

  • 30ml Dried chilli flakes
Instructions
  1. To start, place 650g of dried peaches and 250g of dried apricots in a large bowl.
  2. Pour a liter of brown grape vinegar over the dried fruit. Stir the fruit around briefly to separate and get everything submerged.
  3. Cover the bowl and allow this to stand for 24 hours, giving it a stir every few hours during this time.
  4. The following day the fruit will have absorbed almost all of the vinegar. Strain the fruit in a colander, and save any syrup that runs into the catch bowl.
  5. Transfer the fruit to your food processor and machine this until almost fine. The texture should resemble that of ground beef.
  6. Tip the ground fruit into a bowl, add the reserved syrup and stir this in.
  7. To continue, chop 500g of onion, measure 120g of salt, 75ml of cayenne pepper and 30ml or 2 tablespoons of dried chilli flakes.
  8. Place all of these along with the ground fruit into a large pot. I am using a digital pressure cooker without the lid.
  9. Pour in 1.25 liters of brown grape vinegar and stir until everything is well combined.
  10. Pour in 2.5kg of white sugar and stir this until the sugar has dissolved.
  11. Bring the por to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and allow this to continue cooking for about 2 hours until it has thickened to a syrup, glossy sauce. It will darken substantially during this time as well.
  12. Sterilize your bottles in your dishwasher and pour the hot chutney into the hot bottles. Put the lids on and you're done.
  13. Enjoy your chutney with any type of curry, with burgers, hot dogs.... in fact just about any food enjoys a splash of Mrs Balls chutney.

Zig Zag Lasagna! How to Make Zig-Zag Lasagna from Start to Finish - Quick & Easy Lasagna Recipe!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Pasta
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 6
 
Today we're going to artfully combine fresh pasta, creamy cheese sauce and chicken sausage to make a delicious zig-zag lasagna.
Ingredients
For the Pasta
  • 500g All-purpose flour
  • 5ml Salt
  • 250ml Water
For the Cheese Sauce
  • 130g Butter
  • 80g All-purpose flour
  • 2,5ml Nutmeg
  • 1200ml Full cream milk
  • 2 Bay leaves
  • 200g Mature cheddar cheese, grated
For the Rest
  • 1200g Chicken sausage
  • 100g + 100g + 100g Mature cheddar cheese, grated
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Today we're going to artfully combine fresh pasta, creamy cheese sauce and chicken sausage to make a delicious zig-zag lasagna.
  2. To make the pasta, place 500g of all-purpose flour in your food processor along with a teaspoon of salt.
  3. Pour in 125ml or half of the water and machine this on high speed until the mixture resemble rough breadcrumbs, about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in the remaining 125ml of water and machine this again on high speed until the dough starts to combine, about 90 seconds. Tilting the machine from side to side while doing this helps the process tremendously.
  5. You will know the dough is ready when it holds together when compressed.
  6. Turn the dough out onto your work surface and compress it into mass. Wrap the dough in cling-wrap and allow this to stand for 30 minutes.
  7. After 30 minutes, unwrap the dough and cut the block into 4 pieces.
  8. Flatten out one piece and run it through your pasta roller, starting on setting 1, working gradually to setting 4. Dust the pasta sheet with a little flour between each pass through the machine to stop any sticking.
  9. Square off the ends of the sheet and dust it liberally with flour on both sides.
  10. Put this aside and continue with the remaining sheets. At the end, combine all of the off-cuts and roll out a fifth sheet.
  11. For the cheese sauce, melt 130g of butter in a large pan over medium heat.
  12. Add 80g of all-purpose flour and a half teaspoon of nutmeg.
  13. Use a paddle to stir this into the melted butter until it is smooth. Allow this to cook for 90 seconds.
  14. Turn off the gas or remove the pan from the heat and whisk in 1200ml of milk and add 2 bay leaves.
  15. Return the pan to the heat and simmer the sauce until thickened, whisking continuously.
  16. Once thickened, remove the pan from the heat and add 200g of grated mature cheddar cheese. Use your paddle to stir this until the cheese has completely melted into the sauce.
  17. You will need 3 double potion lasagna dishes, or a single 6 portion pan... this would be equivalent to a large roasting tin.
  18. Spoon just enough of the sauce into each dish to cover the base.
  19. Cut the sausage to the length of the dish and place it in the dish equally spaced. For 6 portions you will need 1200g of sausage.
  20. Cover the sausage with lasagna sheet, cutting it just slightly smaller than the dish.
  21. Press the lasagna sheet down between the sausages to create furrows.
  22. Spoon enough sauce into the dish to completely cover the pasta.
  23. Cut another 4 lengths of sausage to fill the furrows created by the pasta. Press the sausages down into the sauce.
  24. Cut another piece of lasagna sheet to cover the sausages and press this down to remove any trapped air pockets.
  25. Cover the pasta with another layer of sauce and smooth it off with the back of your spoon.
  26. Sprinkle a further 100g of mature cheddar over the top of the sauce, before continuing with the remaining dishes.
  27. Bake the lasagna in a preheated oven at 180c for 35 to 40 minutes until crispy and golden on top.
  28. Remove the pasta from the oven and allow it to stand for 10 minutes to set.
  29. Use a sharp knife to cut cleanly through the cheesy top and the sausages.
  30. Use your lifter to lift the portions from the dish and serve immediately with the accompaniments and garnish of your choice.

Basil pesto is one of the classics, and it really can be used to enhance and flavor a myriad of dishes. It is super simple and quick to make, but bare in mind that to experience the real deal, you must use pine nuts. Any other substitute will result in a poor imitation.
Ingredients
  • 2 Cups fresh basil leaves (packed tightly)
  • 15ml Crushed garlic
  • 60ml Pine nuts
  • 160ml Olive oil
  • 125ml Finely shredded Parmesan, Romano or Grano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. To start, measure out the fresh basil leaves, crushed garlic, pine nuts, extra virgin olive oil, and Parmesan cheese.
  2. Place the basil, garlic, pine nuts and half of the olive oil in a tall jug.
  3. Use your stick blender to machine these until fine.
  4. Add the remaining oil and mix this in.
  5. Add the finely shredded Parmesan cheese and mix this in thoroughly. Season the pesto with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Use a bottling funnel to transfer the pesto to a sterilized jar and refrigerate until required.
  7. The pesto will last for a few months in your refrigerator, however, it will lose a little flavor over time.

Today we're going to make the most amazing dip I have ever tasted. This bacon, mushroom and chive dip works equally well as a spread, as a filling for baked potatoes and even as a topping over steaks.
Ingredients
  • 400g White mushrooms (you can also use Portabellini or Porcini)
  • 200g Good quality oak or hickory smoked streaky bacon
  • 30g + 30g Butter
  • 250ml Cultured sour cream
  • 250g Cream cheese (Chive flavored)
  • (add 30ml of finely chopped fresh chives if you cannot find flavored cream cheese)
  • Crostini to serve
Instructions
  1. Chop the mushrooms into thin slices and put these aside.
  2. Cut the streaky bacon across the grain into thin slices. Try to use properly smoked bacon as this adds a tremendous depth to the flavor of the dip.
  3. Heat a large pan over medium high heat and add the bacon.
  4. Stirfry the bacon for 5 to 6 minutes until it starts to caramelize on the edges.
  5. Add the mushrooms along with 30g of butter. Continue to stirfry this for 2 minutes.
  6. Add a further 30g of butter. Continue to stirfry the mixture until deep golden and caramelized. This will take 6 to 8 minutes.
  7. Transfer the bacon mushroom mixture to a tall jug.
  8. Add the sour cream and chive flavored cream cheese to the jug. If you cannot find flavored cream cheese, simply add 30ml of finely chopped fresh chives to the mixture.
  9. Use your stick blender to zap this all until fine.
  10. To serve, slice a few French rolls into slices and toast them lightly under the grill in your oven until lightly golden.
  11. Arrange the slices around a platter accompanied with the best dip ever.
