Favorite sauce, please share.

Pulled pork begs for an acidic element at serving time.  If I’m making sammiches, I include pickled red onions over the pork.  I also give the pork a hit of a Carolina finishing sauce.  I’m not sure where I got this recipe and I know I’ve turned down the heat a bit because Wilma and Pebbles are spice wimps so please forgive me.  In the original recipe, I suspect the fractional teaspoon amounts are probably full teaspoons except the Cayenne.

2 C   Apple Cider Vinegar 
2T.    Brown sugar
1T.    Ketchup
1/2 t  Red pepper flakes
1/4 t  Cayenne 
3/4 t. Cracked black pepper 
1 t.    Salt

Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil to dissolve the sugar and salt.  Remove from heat.  Cool & refrigerate.  Best if made a day ahead.

My apologies to you Carolina folks if this isn’t an authentic sauce.

green lightning sauce on shrimp, tuna steak, charred flank steak etc

 I made the green lightning shrimp into tacos, with shredded cabbage. I love that sauce, its amazing that it is not spicier.  Definitely a regular when the jalapeno plants are putting on.

At the top of my delicious but simple to make sauce list is horseradish sauce.

I don't really have a recipe, just throw it together and adjust ratios until it tastes good.

Roughly:

1 cup sour cream (full fat, boutique brand is best) **

   OR

1 cup creme fraiche (home made is delish and easy)*

fresh or prepared horseradish to taste (start with a teaspoon)

fresh ground tellicherry black pepper

finely chopped fresh chives

sea salt to taste

pinch msg (don't advertise it)

little lemon juice or a tiny pinch of citric acid (AKA sour salt)

 

options are a little fresh garlic from a press or some garlic powder and onion powder

** substitute some mayo for part of the sour creme if you want it richer

*very high calorie version 

  Great sauce, I made it with a sirloin tip roast we had in the freezer.  Amazing meal, you could go a million different directions with the sour cream base.
