Garlic Hot Sauce Is Great For Dipping Finger Foods

By Eric Murphy


Most people have to admit that adding certain spices to foods gives them new life. This may seem exaggerated but many popular condiments and toppings with combinations of seasonings and spices often move quickly from shelves. Jalapeno, rosemary, and vanilla can elevate a flavor profile quickly. The same holds true for certain condiments like garlic hot sauce, pesto, and tahini.

Hearing words like heat, hot, or spice sometimes bring a slight fear to those who envision themselves breathing fire after one bite. In many cases, this is not true. Although there are a few restaurants that require patrons to sign a waiver before eating any food that is considered to be insanely hot to the tongue.

Some unusual ideas include fried spaghetti balls, teriyaki turkey meatballs, and vegetarian mini tacos. A lot of these are easy to make but incorporate different cultures to make something that is unique. Unlike some finger foods of the past, some of these are low in calories but offer a lot more flavor. Sometimes cooks can just make miniature versions of their favorite recipes and it will become a hit with guests.

The best way to gauge how it will be used is to place a drop in a spoon and taste by itself. While faint heat elements may tingle a little, one should be able to taste savory garlic juice throughout. Depending on the strength of the taste, it can be added to salsa, ketchup, or mustard blends made for dipping appetizers or finger foods.

In the past, finger foods were on the bland side and lacked real color. Tuna salad on small croissants, Margherita style flatbread, or the classic staple, watercress on white bread with mayonnaise. These were fairly simple to make but predictable. While some of these traditional standbys seemed light in consistency, they could be laden with calories.

When it comes to cooking entrees, a person does not have to consumer vegetables to lose weight. Many diet plans call for lean meats that have no preservatives. While it helps a great deal to remove the skin from chicken before cooking, using a marinade that has garlic or herbs will add a nice amount of flavor.

More people are also finding that food cooked on a grill is more exciting. It also gives groups of people a reason to be outside when the weather is warm. These days, fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables taste better when prepared over an open flame. Adding these to a traditional recipe can change the flavor profile for the better.

Anyone who likes hot sauce will find that most garlic flavors stand apart from most. For those who have been curious about using sauces should start with garlic or other flavors that are not too intense with heat. This sauce changes the taste of regular snacks like popcorn, french fries, and rice so much that there is little need for extra ingredients. All it takes is the willingness to step out of a food comfort zone and see what garlic lovers are talking about.
