I love all the different recipe challenges that come up every time Heinz launch a new product. You may remember me trying out the different Heinz Barbecue Sauce recipes and their Salad Cream with Chives recipe suggestions, both challenges which gave me some great ideas for using store cupboard staples in new and original ways.
Well, the latest offering from Heinz to land on the doormat at The Madhouse was their selection of new Hot Sauces. I instantly loved the look of this traffic light-coloured trio of sauces which look like a psychedelic version of Tabasco ! Heinz describe their new creations as follows :
- Chipotle & Garlic is a smokey medium-spiced sauce with a hint of garlic making it a perfect partner for marinating your chicken or brightening your burger
- Green Jalapeno is a tangy hot chilli sauce great for spicing up salsa or salads, or pouring over pizza
- Yellow Habanero is a fiery but sweet chilli sauce great splashed on fajitas or splashed into stir fries
Well, as usual, they sent through some fabulous recipes to try out using them. I haven't had a chance to knock these up myself yet but they sound perfect for sweating out my cold and clearing out my stuffy nose so they're on the cards for next week ! In the meantime, here are the recipes, if you want to try them out for yourselves.
