KICK IT UP!
Red Pepper Sauce
Julia's Review:
Aaron opened the bottle and gave me my first cracker topped with fried canned ham and a goat cheese. I could taste the fire first thing. It made my mouth all warm instantly. Emeril's is not extremely hot and I found it not at all overpowering. I could smell quite clearly the pungent vinegar. I was surprised at how mellow the pepper taste was. Less spicy than some sauces. Better than TxsPete. Could very well be my new favorite sauce for eggs and popcorn. 3 peppers
Aaron's Review:
Having tried nearly all the local grocery store's (Ingles) hot sauces, I spotted something on sale for $2.19—Emeril's KICK IT UP!
As Julia mentioned, we ate it with pig flesh and goat cheese. Not a combination that I am likely to repeat in the future. Nevertheless, it was pretty tasty.
I believe the ingredient that kick's this Louisianan hot sauce up is garlic (or gaaahlic). I'll probably come back to Emeril Lagasse's hot sauce when I spot it on sale again. It's only 5 FL OZ of liquid pepper, so it won't last long with us.
The box contains a recipe for Emeril's Kicked Up Remoulade. It calls for a second Emeril product. What caught my attention was under the recipe:
Want something easy? Add a tablespoonful to a serving of jarred spaghetti sauce — you just made it "Fra Diavalo" (not to be confused with Fra Diavolo).
That sounds like something I must give a go. I think it will work especially well, with this sauce's garlic kick. I give it 3 out of 5 peppers.
I came across an interesting factoid:
The "Emeril Empire" of media, products and restaurants generates an estimated US$150 million annually in revenue.
