Fresh hot sauce
I recently read somewhere about making a chutney that’s not aged and is a “fresh” condiment with spicy food. Having got a load of herbs knocking about, I whizzed some up and it was great. It doesn’t last, but it’s hot and sharp, and adding different fruits is fun.
You will need
- 1 small bunch of coriander
- A lemon, or lime, or citrus zest and juice
- Some chillis. I used a couple of frozen green finger chillis
- Some fruit. I used an over ripe peach, skinned.
Do
- Zest and juice the citrus into a whizzer
- Whizzer all the rest together
- Adjust with oil and water or more juice to get the right consistency
- Add a good pinch of salt
Result
Hot and sour, fresh and fragrant, the peach added a nice sweetness to it. It doesn’t keep long even covered in the fridge to a slung it on chicken wings, a big salad and even creme crackers.
