Sweet and hot have always gone hand and hand in many cuisines. Now honey and chili peppers have joined forces to create a sensation many want and crave. Will l I beat out Sriracha or wasabi? Very likely,.
Regular contributor Julia Moskin wrote about this sensation in yesterday's new York Times Food section, The combination first came into being around 2009 (although he first discovered it on a hiking trip. A lone pizzeria offered macerated Chiles marinating in honey The condiment started out something to drizzle upon pizza, Now it's everywhere .Utz Potato Chips has their version of it. Tiktok has videos of people with chicken tenders. and hot honey It's even on pepperoni pizza.Even honey purveyors are adding the pepper to their blends , keeping up with the trend.The famed recipe Momfuku has even offered a hot honey version of its' chili crisp. It can be used in everything from homemade ice cream to a chicken marinade. You could even try it o ribs if you wanted.
Can it be made at home? Of course! Ms. MOskin gives a releetively simple recipe that any home chef can make.It's taking a half cup of clover honey mixed with five to ten fresh bird's eye chiles. Cut little slits in the chili to release the oil that makes them hot.Bring the chiles and two tablespoons of white wine or diistilled white vinegar.. Boil until the vinegar reduces by half. Stir in the honey and then reduce the heat to low. Put in a jar then let it cool to room temperature.Pluck out the chiles and discard. It will keep in the fridge for two to three weeks.Experiment with different chiles if you want.
Hot honey is more than a fad.It's becoming a hot item. Try it for some sweet heat.
