Ep 38: Roasted Chili Sauce from the Wood Fired Oven

This is my favourite chili sauce. But this episode is also to show you that the wood oven is a great place to roast peppers for whatever sauce or dish you want to make. Roasting the peppers softens the texture, and adds a lovely smokiness and sweetness to their flavour.
I think this sauce makes a great addition to vegetables, roasted meats, and for use as a dip.
The ingredients for my sauce are:
1 red bell pepper
4 Fresno chilis
If you want to go hotter you can add a serrano pepper, Thai chili, or habanero
55g hazelnuts
6 cloves of garlic and enough extra virgin olive oil to cover them
Some sherry vinegar
1 tbsp of paprika
Zest from 1 orange
The wine is a 2020 Presqu’ile Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County

Clive I could literally watch you boil water in the oven for hours. I feel so spoiled with 4 videos in about a span of a month. I hope you make the time to put out videos more frequently. Everything about your channel is amazing. Thank you

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

😂 Thanks so much

[@fabiansandoval6132]

Why dont you build your own oven? If you have a backyard you should. I built one not to difficult. You can even build a portable one and take it outdoors.

[@greensandglaciers1761]

Always a good day when you post a new one Clive. I was actually watching some previous episodes last night and my 8 year old starting watching too. He was very quiet and then said “I like this guy because he explains everything!”

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

I have a friend who has a very successful business. Works tremendously hard. He spends his nights cooking 3-4 hour meals outdoors to relax with wine. Seeing you at 2:50 reminded me of him.

Your videos are always memorizing for me, just the background music, your deminer, and the videography is outstanding! I've been roasting peppers in my wood fired oven similar to this, and am really happy with how they turn out. This chili sauce looks and sounds incredible, a truly culinary delight.

Nice sauce and as you mentioned perfect texture. Reminds me of the Romesco sauce from Spain. The Romesco sauce is undoubtedly one of the most well-known elements of Catalan cuisine in the world. Romesco sauce is a cold sauce made with tomatoes, red peppers mixed with rehydrated dry Ñoras also called "Pimiento choricero", almonds &hazelnuts, garlic, and other ingredients. It originates from the city of Tarragona, in the south of Catalonia. It is definitively associated with "calçots," which are young onions grilled on a barbecue or griddle and enjoyed with this sauce.

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

Thank for this information. Yes, the foundation of this sauce is based on Romesco, but essentially without the tomatoes. More to come.

[@arribaxx]

Your favorite chili sauce recipe sounds delicious and versatile! Roasting the peppers in a wood oven to create the sauce adds complexity to the flavors. Here's an overview and review of the recipe: Roasted Chili Sauce: Using roasted peppers as the base for the sauce is a fantastic idea. Roasting peppers softens their texture, enhances their flavor with smokiness and sweetness, and adds depth to the overall taste profile. The versatility of this sauce allows it to be paired with various dishes. Ingredients and Flavors: The combination of ingredients you've listed showcases a balanced blend of flavors: Red Bell Pepper: Adds sweetness and color to the sauce. Fresno Chilis: Provides a mild heat and fruitiness. Additional Hot Peppers: The option to add hotter peppers like serrano, Thai chili, or habanero gives the sauce versatility and allows for different levels of heat. Hazelnuts: This is an interesting addition that likely adds a nutty and rich undertone to the sauce. Garlic and Olive Oil: Roasting garlic in olive oil brings depth and aroma to the sauce. Sherry Vinegar: Adds tanginess and balances the sweetness of the peppers. Paprika: Enhances the smoky flavors and contributes to the sauce's depth. Orange Zest: The orange zest likely brightens the overall taste and adds a refreshing note. Usage Suggestions: Your suggestion that the sauce works well with vegetables, roasted meats, and as a dip aligns with its versatile nature. The flavors you've incorporated make it suitable for enhancing various dishes. Wine Pairing: The 2020 Presqu’ile Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County appears to be a suitable wine pairing. Chardonnay's flexibility and potential for balancing flavors make it a good choice to accompany the roasted chili sauce. Overall Impression: Your roasted chili sauce recipe seems to offer a well-balanced combination of flavors and textures. The choice to roast peppers in a wood oven enhances the sauce's overall taste profile, and the versatility of the sauce's usage makes it a valuable addition to various dishes. Thank you for sharing this flavorful and creative recipe that showcases the potential of the wood oven!

Thank you Clive. I will definitely try this. Looks like a lower oven temperature based on the soot inside the oven. Somewhere around 500?

[@TheWoodFiredOvenChef]

Yes, around 500. Much higher than that is too much for the peppers I've found. And then it's easy to raise the temperature if needed for the next dish.
