Fermented hot sauce RECIPE: Pack your (washed) selection of veg (bell peppers, tomatillos, chilis, cilantro, onion, garlic etc based on your flavor preferences). Roughly chop all the veg then pack it all down into a clean glass jar and *completely* cover with salt water (1 tbsp sea salt to every 2 cups of water). Weigh the veg down so everything stays completely submerged, loosely cover for first 24 hours then cover tight and allow to ferment 3-10 days or longer, based on your flavor preference and room temp. Burp jar every 24 hours if you don’t use an airlock/fermenting lid. When fermenting is complete, strain the veg and set the brine aside in a bowl. Blend the fermented veg in a blender or food processor, slowly adding back the brine until desired consistency is reached. (Optional, strain again for a more liquid hot sauce). Store in the refrigerator up to one year in clean covered containers. #fermentedhotsauce #homemadehotsauce #fermentedfood #homemadefood #slowfoodmovement #homemadekitchenrestock #makethishomeahomestead
