“Apply liberally to everything! Double up dosage on the Sabbath”
Hailing from Birmingham, this is a chilli sauce with black garlic and roast onions. Ingredients list is nice and short, though interestingly it just says “Chilli (14%)” without calling out what type(s) of chillis are used.
Consistency is slightly on the thick side, but it’s still pourable rather than “dollopable”.
Heat? Yep, it’s certainly there and while not overwhelming, it’s one of those sauces which accumulates.
There’s a sweetness from the onions which comes through first in the flavour, then the richness and garlic comes through followed by a pretty harsh hit of heat, with a slow heat fade. It’s a relatively uncomplicated sauce; “Sweetness, spiciness, head-but of heat”
I’m a bit mixed about this sauce; on one hand I quite like the flavours/heat, while on the other hand I’ve struggled to find foods for which I feel that it’s a truly good & complementary match.
6/10 – It’s complicated.
