Camping out food again. I reckon those crispy lamb tails are better than finding some yellow.

Added 150mls of apple cider vinegar with the mother(the good stuff in the glass bottle)
Then brought to a boil in two table spoons of virgin olive oil, not the other sort..... then simmered for 30 minutes
Made 1 and a bit bottles. :D

And not killer hot(for me), but does linger.... and oh wow...... has that taste of tomatoe relish(but as a hot sauce) :p
 
Ahh... cooking without weights and measures.

Silver, you must add that for my girls, otherwise I am sure to blow my ring right off when they make it, and I eat it. :8 :awful:

They will make anything now, getting too confident for my tummy's sake.

:lol: :lol:

Chillie sauce Feb 2022

Ingredients
10 cherry tomatoes
12 short purple chillies(turn orange when ripe)
8 cold chillies(small capsicums really..... 8 = one normal sized red capsicum)
20 small birdseed chillies( they were about half normal size..... so ten beauties would do)
2 small green pointy capsicums(about 6-8 cm long (they have a non sweet strong taste)
1 segment of giant garlic (equal to 3 or 4 Chinese garlic size)
1 Flat teaspoon of pink Himalayas salt
2 Flat tablespoonfuls of white sugar
2 Tablespoonfuls of virgin olive oil
150 must of Bragg's apple cider vinegar(with the mother)

Method

Puree everything in a blender for 5 minutes , or until very very fine(except the olive oil and vinegar)

In a small pot on the stove top
Add the olive oil
Add the puree
Add the vinegar
Mix well
Bring to the boil(stirring occasionally)
As soon as it is boiling, turn it down to a simmer for the next 30 minutes. (mixing occasionally still)

Prepare your bottles by sterilisation using warm water, then adding boiling water once the bottles have heated up a bit( stops them from breaking with the heat if you add boiling water intermittently over time.
Also put the lids and a plastic funnel into a pot and add boiling water to sterilise them.
The string spoon is already sterile from the cooking process for when you scrape the pot at the end.

Once the bottles have been emptied and filled with sauce(while all still hot) sit the lids on without tightening..... only tighten after about 5 minutes(this will create an airight seal and vacuum inside of the bottle, so it will not go off if kept in the cupboard).

Remember to be careful with very hot ingredients and utensils.

Done.... hope that helps Gh :p
 
Thank you Sir, we are getting around 30 cherry tomatoes a day.

I will get it all together, and we will see if their eyes survive.
Will post it when it is done.
But I have to say I will likely cut back from the hot stuff, otherwise it will just be Kato and I eating it.

Of course the girls will wear gloves.

Cheer's.

Think maybe Corona Beer bottles for storage, thick bottles.

:perfect: :)
 
It only makes that small batch as above, not even as hot as Tabasco(as a comparison).... that half bottle is gone already lol :p
 
That recipe should also say

"2 medium brown onions"

Just above the garlic part

..........sorry :eek:

That's what's in that sauce :p
 
Pass! Silver.
Anything hotter than coffee or tea in our household doesn't get to the table.
During a holiday in the UK we decided to try some Indian cuisine,
They had their menu marked with "Chillis" denoting how hot.
I picked a meal without any Chilli marking and one forkful was enough.
The waiter asked why I hadn't eaten the meal and stomped away disgusted when I said it was too hot.
First and last visit to any Indian restaurant. :playful:
 
Made a giant tray of briam a couple of days ago. Zuc's eggplant and tomatoes were from the garden. Potatoes onion and garlic were store bought.
This dish involves a LOT of olive oil and is great with fetta and crusty bread.

Used so much oil I nearly didn't have enough to brush my teeth with some the next morning :lol: :lol:

I've had the same experience at an Indian restaurant. I think it took 1/2 ltr of yoghurt to put the fire out... :fire: ]:D :N:

Are you sure they are Mushrooms ? :8 :( Look like toadstools to me. :skull: Maybe they are fancy ones? :p
Is that 1 pumpkin vine or 2?
 
Two pumpkin vines there, they will be japs, and maybe gold topped mushrooms, unsure, they do look fragile, and I don't think I'll cook them up to try.

Anyone able to identify the mushrooms at all ?

:playful:
