Fermented Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce

Method

Fermented Ghost Pepper Hot Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hot Sauce

    In a blender, combine ghost peppers, garlic cloves, salt, white vinegar, and water. Blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a clean jar, cover with a cloth, and let it ferment at room temperature for 5-7 days. Stir daily. After fermentation, strain the sauce and store in a glass bottle.

Mignonette

  1. 2

    Make the Mignonette

    In a small bowl, combine red wine vinegar, finely chopped shallots, and black peppercorns. Mix well and let sit for at least 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Serving Oysters

  1. 3

    Serve the Oysters

    Shuck the fresh raw oysters and place them on a serving plate. Serve alongside the fermented ghost pepper hot sauce and mignonette for dipping.
