Hello All,

Found this recipe for a Green Chile Hot Sauce floating around. The recipe calls for dijon mustard and brown sugar which I would not have thought to include in a green chile hot sauce recipe. Going to make this recipe and will post pictures of the results.

What do you all think of this recipe? How would you tweak it to better suite your tastes?

8 jalapenos
4 poblanos
4 small onions
6 cloves garlic
roast the peppers
splash of oil to sauté the onions and garlic and peppers
blend everything with 1 1/2 cups water and 1 cup apple cider vinegar
strain
add 4 tbsp brown sugar
add 4 tbsp dijon mustard
simmer and bottle

Maybe use pineapple juice instead of the brown sugar?
 
I'd do a nice roasted veggie tray! Peppers, garlic, onion. You don't need oil, as, you don't really want that in your sauce. Don't worry it will roast just fine. You'll even get char. Then make your sauce with the vinegar and sweeteners. Cook, blend, or blend, then cook, however you do it. Different ways for different sauces. If it has a lot of liquid I like to blend first. Because, it will blend, and then I cook it. Thicker sauces I cook first then blend with liquid. Etc.

Great suggestions, and appreciate the caution about using oil in the recipe. Roasting the ingredients sounds like a better and safer option. Thank you!

Will try these ideas with these poblanos and jalapenos picked from the garden tonight!

Personally, I’m totally diggin’ the recipe in the first post! I think it’d work 😁 Seems like a shitload of onion to me though 😳 Unless we’re talking about those little pearl onions that go in a beef stew :rofl: I’d probably just go with 1.5 small onions. Might even up the Dijon to 1/2 cup too! I wouldn’t strain it; I’d just boil it down to the consistency I’d like 👍🏻

Also, pineapples (or the juice) ROCK in green sauces :metal:

I love Jalapeno and Poblano so much.... I have variegated Poblano x Jalapeno hybrid seeds to plant out. Don't mind me, I love the classics as you simply can't go wrong with them.
 
Looks good. :clap:

How's it taste?

Unless you checked the pH, remember to store it in the fridge and use it up fairly soon.

Next time you wanna do green, consider a ferment! This recipe kinda reminds me of Sriracha. :lol: :think:
