Geeky goodness!
Awesomeš
That beard is looking Hollywood, my man. Excited to see a new video.
Iāve started to do a 2-stage hand washing process after handling peppers; a good scrubbing of vegetable oil and then soap. As best as I can tell (I do rub my eyes a lot), this removes any capsaicin on the olā fingers.
Fresnos are a great pepper for hot sauce and this is an inspiration because I want to get my hands on sone Fresnos now! Sadly, the grocery store where I use to buy them no longer carries them. So Iām going to have to grow them next year.
Sounds very good, charring the vegetables does provide a whole other dimension of flavors. I can recommend blending fermented peppers with charred or roasted ingredients, it's a fantastic combination.
I had a ton of fresnos this year, they are my wife's favorite. I fermented four quarts of them with just garlic and a bit of ginger root and then made a red and a green sauce from them. I had a lot of green chiles because we had to pick them all before the first frost. I don't remove the seeds, and the fermentation process mellows out any bitter notes you might detect. This makes for a pretty mild hot sauce (for me anyway) and is really versatile.
Well I know what I'm growing next year. Thank ya
If I can find some Fresno's I'll make some! Thanks for sharing!
I ferment hot sauce from the garden. A general recipe (LOTS of wiggle room, have fun) is (all by weight)
75% peppers, 15% onion, 9% carrot, 1% garlic. Blitz to smoothe, add 5% of total veg mass in salt and let ferment, typically 1-4 weeks. Bottle and serve. It tastes vastly different depending on the pepper bill but is a fun recipe
Hello from Fresno, California! My hometown and the birthplace of Fresno peppers! Great hot sauce creation.
My only advice would be to use an oil with a higher smoking point than Olive oil when charring the veggies such as Avocado oil.
Looks incredible
Will def add this in my garden next season! Iāve tried two of your sauces recipes with great success. Thx for sharing
Iāll add some Chile de Arbol to amp up the heat.
I follow you since France, and i love your videos ! Iām crazy fan of peppers too, unfortunatly, your book isnāt in french š . Continues to do your good work bro āļøš š¶ļø
That looks amazing and I love the way you (unlike most chefs) let the ingredients cool down before putting it in a plastic blender so that the plastic doesnāt release any toxins and make the flavors dull. My only tip is to just cot of the top of the pepper and then use a peeler to get in the gut of the pepper and remove the seed, it will save you time and your hands wonāt be burned.
I think I'm going to make this except I'm going to cook it on my smoker instead of the stove. Add a little smokey flavor and not choke the wife and kids with the vaporized spice lol š
Cider vinegar?
Hi great sauce recipie how long does it keep for and does it have to stay refrigerated cheers and merry Xmas .
I think Fresnoās are one of the most underrated peppers out there.
