HOMEMADE CHILLI SAUCE



Homemade chilli sauce image

This homemade sriracha recipe blends plenty of hot red chillies and garlic with a touch of sugar, salt and vinegar for a sweet, tart, spicy taste sensation!

Provided by Nancy Anne Harbord

Number Of Ingredients 6

400 g red bird's eye chillies
10 fat cloves garlic
200 g water
70 g apple cider vinegar
60 g raw sugar
1 tbsp fine sea salt

Steps:

  • Trim the stalks of the chillies and deseed - slice each chilli down its length, open up the chilli and scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon. It's important that you wear gloves for this task! The build up of chilli juice on your hands from these quantities will make your hands burn for days - DAYS!
  • Add all the ingredients except the sugar and salt to a high powered blender or food processor and blend until smooth. If your food processor isn't quite up to par, don't worry! You can sieve out any larger pieces after cooking.
  • Add the chilli mixture, the sugar and salt to a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently, stirring fairly regularly to stop the bottom sticking and burning. The sauce is done when the mixture is reduced and thickened, about 20 minutes of simmering. You can decide now how thick you want your sauce to be - add a little extra water if you want to thin it, or simmer a little longer if you want it thicker. Taste the mixture - this is quite a hard one to sample as it's pretty spicy and your palate will become blown out after a few tastes, but someone's got to do it! I added a little extra salt (1/2 teaspoon) and vinegar (1 teaspoon) for my tastes, but yours will be different. You might want some extra sugar, but for me the chillies were pretty sweet themselves.
  • Fill the bottle or jar you want to store your sauce in with boiling water and leave for 10 minutes. If you have used a high-powered blender, just decant the sauce into this clean bottle (a funnel is very useful here). If your blender wasn't quite able to purée the sauce and it still looks a little chunky, press it through a fine mesh sieve before bottling. Store in the fridge - it will last for several months.

The Best Chili image

There are a thousand ways to make chili, but this is the quintessential, totally classic version. We used ground beef, kidney beans and the perfect blend of spices. You can slather it on hot dogs and burgers or serve it as a dip, but it can surely stand on its own. Chances are, you have everything you need right in your pantry. Top it with your favorite garnishes and serve with plenty of tortilla chips.

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef chuck, preferably coarse grind (see Cook's Note)
1 large yellow onion, diced
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

One 28-ounce can whole peeled tomatoes, crushed
Two 15.5-ounce cans kidney beans, undrained
Sour cream, shredded Cheddar and sliced scallions, for serving
Tortilla chips, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a Dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until just browned, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.

SIMPLE HOT CHILLI SAUCE



Simple Hot Chilli Sauce image

I have an abundance of chillis so I want to make a sauce. I'm planning on trying this with other types of chillis as needed, but for now, saving this recipe per how I found it. http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/19696/hot+chilli+sauce Modified per suggestions. Receipe states should last 3 weeks in the fridge, but I'm sure if you sterilised, it would last longer and canning would probably make it last even longer. Prep time includes blending time.

BEST EVER CHILI DOG SAUCE



Best Ever Chili Dog Sauce image

DH loves this recipe so much, that when he retires, he's considering buying a mobile concession stand to haul behind our RV to sell these hotdogs. We add cheese, onion and mustard, but that is your choice. This freezes well.

Provided by Deely

Categories     Sauces

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb ground beef
1/3 cup onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 cup onion, chopped
7 3/8 ounces Hormel chili without beans (lunchbox size)
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Brown hamburg and 1/3 cup onion.
  • Drain.
  • Combine hamburg onion mix and remaining ingredients.
  • Simmer 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chili peppers: Different chili peppers have different heat levels and flavors. For a mild sauce, use mild chili peppers, such as poblanos or Anaheim peppers. For a medium sauce, use medium chili peppers, such as jalapeños or serranos. For a hot sauce, use hot chili peppers, such as habaneros or cayenne peppers.
  • Roast or char the chili peppers: Roasting or charring the chili peppers brings out their flavor and makes them easier to digest. You can roast the peppers in the oven or on a grill. If you're using a grill, be sure to keep the peppers close to the heat so they don't burn.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your chili sauce will taste. Use ripe tomatoes, onions, and garlic for the best flavor.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste your chili sauce as you're making it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or chili powder to taste.
  • Let the chili sauce simmer: Simmering the chili sauce allows the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.

Conclusion:

With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a chili sauce that you'll love. Whether you like it mild, medium, or hot, there's a recipe out there for you. So get cooking and enjoy your homemade chili sauce!
