Spicy Sauce Recipes

Are you afraid of sauces? Well, you don't have to be. Sauces are quite easy to make, and they add a wealth of flavor and texture to just about any dish. Many of these spicy sauce recipes can also serve as a main dish over noodles, rice, or spaghetti, too.

Consider making a large batch of sauce, and freeze it or can it for later use. Once you discover the ease of making great, tasty sauces, you'll want to try more recipes all the time. You can easily experiment with the spices for the perfect heat for you and your family. It is best to use a whisk to blend your sauces as they cook. It will incorporate air into the mixture and help blend the ingredients better.

Some Handy Spicy Sauce Tips

• You don't have to make your own stock or broth for sauce recipes. Most of the canned or box varieties of stock and broth today are just fine for cooking. If you're concerned about sodium and fat, look for low-sodium and low-fat versions.
• Experiment with fresh and dried herbs. A peppery herb like tarragon can make your sauce spicy and tasty without adding extra hot spices.
• Use a decent quality of wine, sherry, or other liqueur. If it doesn't taste good to sip, it won't taste good in your sauce, either! Avoid the small bottles of "cooking" wine or sherry in the supermarket, at all costs.
