Seafoodfish Essentials Spicy Dill Sauce

SEAFOOD/FISH ESSENTIALS: SPICY DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. If you do not have any sriracha sauce, you might try some chili sauce or hot sauce. However, be careful and do just a bit at a time, until you like what you taste.
• 3. You can vary the amounts of yogurt-to-mayonnaise, or use all of one or the other, and make sure you wind up with 10 tablespoons total. Just remember, the more yogurt you use, the tangier the sauce will be. As a matter of fact, if you up the yogurt, you might want to add a bit more honey; to keep the sauce from becoming too bitter... just a suggestion.
• 4. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 5. Add all the ingredients to a small mixing bowl... except the salt and pepper.
• 6. Whisk together until smooth.
• 7. Wait about 15 minutes, to give the ingredients a chance to know each other, and then season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• 8. Store in a glass container with a tight-fitting lid until needed.
• 9. PLATE/PRESENT
• 10. It is great on seafood, fish; even things like baked potatoes. This image is of my sweet potato patties on wild rice. Enjoy.
• 11. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

CONDIMENT ESSENTIALS: SPICY FISH SPREAD

Steps:

• 1. PREP/PREPARE
• 2. You will need a medium-sized mixing bowl, and whisk to make this recipe.
• 3. Storage of homemade condiments and spices Because homemade spices and condiments do not contain any preservatives, it is important to store them properly. Non-reactive (glass) containers with tight-fitting lids are a must. If I am making a dry spice, I love to use old spice bottles that I have run through the dishwasher. If I am doing homemade sauces, I love using Weck jars. They are all glass, come in all sizes and shapes, and have excellent leakproof lids. If you shop online, you can go to Amazon, and type in "Weck Jars" and you will find a ton of them. Dry spices should be kept in a cool space, away from sunlight (spice cabinet), and sauces, in most cases, should be stored in the fridge. This recipe if properly stored will last 12 - 14 days and will give you about 6 - 8 generous servings.
• 4. Since you are only using 1/2 can of tomatoes, and 1/2 can of the chilies, the extra can be placed into freezer bags, frozen, and used in other recipes.
• 5. I strongly recommend that you allow this recipe to rest in the fridge for several hours or, better yet overnight. This will give the ingredients a chance to get to know one another.
• 6. If you do not have any fire-roasted tomatoes, no worries. Use the regular type, just make sure that they are the crushed variety; not diced or whole.
• 7. Homemade Mayonnaise To be sure, there are some good store-bought mayo's on the market (my all-time favorite is Duke's) If you live in the South, you have probably seen it on the shelves of your local grocer; however, as you travel North, it becomes as scarce as hen's teeth. If you would like to take a stab at making your own (it really is not all that difficult), check out this recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/spread/mayonnaise-essentials-faux-duke-s-version.html?r=1
• 8. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
• 9. Shred the onion on the large holes of a box grater, then remove the excess moisture with a paper towel. Open the tomatoes and the green chilies, remove half from each can and let sit in a fine mesh strainer, until completely drained, about 5 minutes. Reserve the rest for other recipes. Finely chop the capers. Then add all the ingredients to a mixing bowl.
• 10. Whisk all the ingredients together, and properly store in the fridge until needed.
• 11. PLATE/PRESENT
• 12. I use it as a spread for fish sandwiches, and as a dip for things such as, fish fingers, and the like. Enjoy.
• 13. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
