Spicing up life since 6,000 years, hot sauce took a global tour in the 16th century and never looked back. Now, if you’re bored with the store-bought versions, get creative and DIY your own red-hot elixir or a mild chutney. Just remember to wear gloves while wrestling with chilies because safety is no laughing matter even if your hot sauce experiment turns out to be!
I stumbled upon the mouthwatering delights of candied coffee-coated peanuts at a South African market.
I then found myself taking a jovial deep-dive into the history and making of this insidiously addictive snack (you’ve been warned!).
From 16th-century nutty coffee concoctions in the Middle East to present-day DIY recipes, I invite you to join me in the exploration of this sweet, salty, bitter blend of coffee and nuts.
Remember, accidents are just part of the process, and ‘burning’ is merely a ghost tan. Bon Appétit!
