Green Sriracha

So my buddy sent me the link to a recipe for making homemade Sriracha the other day and told me I should be all over it. Since I love hot stuff I decided this was a good idea and set about getting the ingredients. When I got to the market all they had were green peppers and this is when I decided I would make green Sriracha instead of the regular ‘red rooster sauce’ and modified the recipe as follows (really I just swapped out the type of peppers).

Ingredients:

I substituted green serranos (2lbs)

I substituted habaneros (8 peppers)

Garlic cloves (8-10)

Sugar (2 tbsp)

Garlic powder (2 tbsp)

Brown sugar (1 tbsp)





Remove the stems from peppers and skins from garlic.




Throw all ingredient stuff in a food processor and process until pureed.




Pour into a jar and let the stuff sit for 7 days, stirring once a day.





After 7 days of sitting you heat it up and mix in some vinegar, strain it, and viola.

I’m on day two of stirring, each day taking a sample tasting. The stuff is pretty hot and I think that it will get hotter as it maturates. Time will tell. I’ll continue to document until completion but I'm already tired of waiting

 

Man that is a lot of habaneros, that has got to be super hotttt!!!!! I am interested in making this though. I like the waiting 7 days for this to "cure". I wonder what it would taste best on??? It seems super easy to make too.

 

Yeah, I might have gotten a little overzealous with the peppers

I love hot sauce and I look forward to putting this on pizza, mexican food, etc. Pretty much anything not sweet.

 

whoa..i suggest you put a roll of toilet paper in the freezer!!

that looks awesome..but..no BUTT.

 

OP I think I am going to hold on off this one until you try it first.

 

Good sign that the glass didn't melt, lol. And you might wanna have face away from jar when opening it up so you don't burn your retinas, eyebrows and nose hair up.

 

I'll let you know.

I know man, everytime I open the bottle I gently waft it to make sure I don't get my ass kicked!

 

Power to ya, I wouldn't touch that stuff!

 

Oh come on, it won't be that bad

 

I'm Irish... we do meat and potatos, most of use can't even spell pepper, let alone Habansomethingorother.

 

Here is a pic prior to yesterday's stir. It is starting to look pretty dank. 3 days down, 4 to go.

 

That looks delicious Matt! I want to try it

I LOVE spicy stuff, Ghost Pepper, Habanero...whatever, I love it all. I order 10* Thai food all the time, and local place makes a special batch of crushed Thai Chili sauce for me.

Sriracha (or Hot Cock sauce) is my all-time favorite. I use it on anything and almost everything. It is pretty damn versatile; spicy, a little salty/soy flavor, and a sweetness that evens it all out.

You should send me a little ramekin/bottle of this batch if you want. I will pay shipping. Looks tasty

 

If it turns out good I totallly will. Keep ya posted.

 

Definitely interested, I might just make it and give it a try.

 

your B hole will be on fire later.
I too love spicy food. LMK how it turns out

 

good idea, love hot stuff, that jar looks like some buds.. LOL

 

Damn that looks like it'll be a rough time when you have to take a dump.

 

You should go for it!

Oh I'm sure it will . I'll let you know!
