Inner Beauty Hot Sauce
Chris Schlesinger has a famous picture hanging over his desk with a recipe of his Inner Beauty Hot Sauce. Unfortunately, the recipe calls for five pounds of peppers which produces restaurant quantities of hot sauce. I found a scaled down version of his famous hot sauce on seriouseats.com. I couldn’t find the ingredients as listed, so here is my version.
This hot sauce is hot. Really hot. To reduce the amount of heat, carefully remove the ribs and seeds of the peppers. Wear a pair of food service gloves or use forks to remove the insides of the peppers because the heat from the peppers will stick on your hands for hours.
Ingredients
- 2 oz habanero peppers
- 3 tablespoons yellow mustard
- 1/2 tablespoon light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 tablespoon molasses
- 3 tablespoons Mighty Mango Naked Juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoon oil
- 1/4 teaspoon each cumin, chili powder, curry, all spice
Procedure
Remove stems from peppers and combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Chill overnight to let flavors marry.
