Homemade Scorpion Pepper Sauce Recipe

We already have taken a look at the Nutrition Facts and ingredients for this sauce. However, you cannot always go to the store and buy some. Sometimes, you have to do it yourself, because homemade is always healthier and you know exactly how the food is prepared! I have prepared a Homemade Scorpion Pepper Sauce Recipe for you!

Ingredients

• 8 ounces Scorpion Pepper, pepper stems removed 
• 1 large bulb of garlic top sliced open to expose most of the garlic
• 1 medium white onion sliced in half
• 3 tablespoons good quality vinegar (distilled white, champagne, or apple cider vinegar for a tangier taste)
• ½ teaspoon salt or more to taste
• Olive oil (for roasting)
• 1 cup of water or more, as desired
• 4 -5 ounces blueberries

Instructions

• Heat your oven to 400 degrees. Set the Scorpion peppers, garlic, onion, and blueberries on a baking sheet, season them with salt and olive oil. Bake them for about 15-20 minutes, or until the skins slightly char. Keep an eye on these. You don’t want them to burn.
• Add the peppers, blueberries, and onion to a food processor. Squeeze garlic out of their skins and into the food processor they go.
• Add in the vinegar and salt. Process until you get a chunky mixture.
• Add in a half cup of water and process again until the sauce starts to smooth out. Check it for thickness. If you’d like a thinner sauce, add in a bit more water a little at a time, processing, until you reach your desired consistency.
• Pour into sterilized bottles and enjoy.

Homemade Pasta Recipe (Tastes good with Ghost Pepper Sauce)

Now I am going to do a favor to you my dear reader and will give you a homemade pasta recipe for the best of lasagna, and pasta with sauces. (You can use our JarKitchen Special Pasta recipe in our article on Hard Rock and Roll Sauce!

Before you go and take a look at the ingredients, you can use this amazing ANTREE Pasta Maker to get evenly cut pasta.

Ingredients

• 400 gr “00” flour
• 100 gr Semolina flour
• 12 egg yolk (you can keep the egg whites for pancakes, cakes, etc.)
• 40 ml extra virgin olive oil
• A pinch of salt (it should not be flaky otherwise it will break your dough)
• Water (the amount of water is changeable. It depends on what type of pasta we want to make. For example, if we want to make ravioli, our dough should be soft. Therefore we need to add more water into the dough. On the other hand, if we are going to make tagliatelle or pappardelle our dough should be rough. So we need to add less water into our dough.)

Instructions

• Combine dry ingredients and make a hole in the flours.
• Put 12 egg yolks into the hole.
• Drizzle olive oil on top of the eggs and combine everything with a fork. (If you use your hands right away, it will stick to your hand.)
• When the dough becomes crumble we need to add water little by little until it becomes more coherent.)
• When the dough is ready wrap it with cling film and lets it rest in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
• Remove your dough from the refrigerator and knead your dough with your pasta machine. ( we can also use a rolling pin but since our dough is really rough, it will take time and energy to knead.)
• Cut your dough into the desired pasta shape.
