I love hot sauces LOVE hot sauces. They kick up the flavour in bland dishes in a flash and help keep your internal heat up during the winter. I've decided to dedicate my next few posting to raw vegan sauces and condiments.
Chipotle Sauce
The smoky flavour of this sauce goes great with bean salads, black beans, over rice, or over a raw chop salad with avocado and peppers.
- 3 dried chipotle peppers (soaked 20 minutes or longer)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 a small white onion
- 1 medium tomato (de seeded)
- 1 medium tomatillo
- 3 sun dried tomatoes (soaked)
- 1tsp chili spice
- 1 small jalapeno top sliced off and de seeded
Cut tops off soaked chipotle pepper slice them open and remove the seeds. Put all ingredients in a high speed blender or food processor and blend until smooth. This sauce is best after it has been allowed to marinate for a few hours in the fridge. *Note: It is important to remove seeds from your tomatoes so your sauce isn't too watery/runny.
Easy Peasy Raw Vegan Hot Sauce
- 1/4C water
- 1/4 C Apple Cider Vinegar
- 6 tsps of cayenne powder
- 1 medium clove of garlic
Mix all in a blender until smooth - store in old hot sauce bottles or something that will drizzle. The longer this sauce sits the hotter it gets so experiment with the amount of cayenne you use until you have the right amount of heat for you.
Raw Piri Piri Sauce
- 6 large red or green chillies with seeds removed
- 3 large cloves of garlic
- 2 tsp of paprika
- 1/2 a fresh squeezed lemon or lime
- (juice only)
- 4T of olive oil
Blend until smooth (you may need to add a bit more olive oil to get the right consistency - should be thick not too runny).
Raw Vegan Chili Sauce
- 6 jalapeno peppers, stemmed and de-seeded
- 1/4C of Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3T of Maple Syrup or Agave
- 4 large garlic cloves
- 1/2T of Pink Sea Salt
- 6T of water (may need a little more or less depending on how juicy your peppers are)
Blend the heck out of it until perfectly smooth. Stores in a bottle in the fridge for up to 3 weeks!
