Lovely people, were going to make Chilli Sauce, woo!
Onions, tomatoes, chillis, cider, vinegars
This recipe will make 350ml ok, which is that much
But my advice to you, is times this recipe by 4,5,6 do a batch cook for the whole year
I love you, ok
Lets do it
Food processor, these are fairly hot chillis, I'm putting 12 of them in
You can de-seed the chillis, but I'm going to sieve out the seeds a little bit later
because I want the heat, but you can adjust it to your liking
2 onions, just regular white onions
and then 2 cloves of garlic, peel those
in you go, generous pinch of salt
And just chop it all up
Colour, I just love the colour
I'm just going to add it to a pan, with about 2 tablespoons of oil
Medium heat
Let's mix this around
Look at that, so onions, garlic, chilli. I want to blend the fresh chillis with chilli powder
2 teaspoons, and by sweating this off you're going to get sweeter flavours
but I'm going to use a little bit of sugar to balance that, so 2 tablespoons of sugar
We'll let that just simmer away for about 10 minutes
to get those lovely flavours going
So have a little look at this guys, you can see it's sweetened, it's reduced in size already
Now 6 ripe plum tomatoes. The better the tomatoes the better this'll be. Chop it all up
You're going to get such good flavour from that
And then it gets really exciting. 150ml of vinegar
but I'm using apple cider vinegar
The link between chilli and apple is phenomenal
It's really phenomental
And I'm going to back it up with some lovely cloudy apple juice, 250ml
So there's like an apple backbone
Not just in sweetness but in flavour
With the chilli, with the onion with the tomatoes
It's going to be so good
Really, really good. So were going to bring this to the boil
And were going to simmer it for about 20 minutes, then we'll have a little check
What we want to do now, is just have a little taste
Woohoo!
That's what it makes me do, season it, get it going
Actually there's a lot of research that say's that capsaicin which is natural chemical in capsicums in the chilli family
It does release, happy hormones, serotonin. And it picks you up
It's unbelievable, I mean I'm like all in to it. It smells amazing
It's got a good kick, pour this into here
Liquidise it until fine
If you like it silkier just put it through a sieve like this
I'm going to keep it rustic today but you do whatever you like
It really is an amazing way to brighten up pretty much any dish
Turn the heat off now, that's boiling
A final little taste
Woo!
That's what it makes me feel like
every time I do it
If you want it to last a year, steralise some jars or bottle of whatever you want to keep it in
That kills all the bugs
So everything is sterile
Including this
And lets put our chilli sauce into our bottle
Just ignore my mess, and I apologise, it's just excitement, I just cant hold myself
Then I'm going to go back in here, just for 5 minutes, that's going to steralise it ok?
So that way it's going to last a nice little year
Let's fill her up
Whenever I do a batch I always keep some and I don't bother steralising it, I just put some straight in the fridge and it'll last, week, week and a half easily
So there you go guys, Chilli Sauce
It's really good, I'm really excited about it
We got the steralised ones, really cool, we've got the ones available for now, beautiful
It's a great gift, even though this recipe is straight forward, whole ingridients, loads of love
And it took me months to get right, so if you're a chilli sauce lover
Forward it, share it, shamon, that's all I can say, shamon. Shamon, Chilli Sauce
