fermented hot sauce workshop with kevin from hot head salsa.
If you’re into spicy food, well then you’ve come to the right place. Kevin from Hot Head Salsa may be a chemist by day, but every chance he gets you’ll find him either in his kitchen fermenting hot sauces, or sampling spicy peppers around town (chili-pepper eating contest, anyone?). If you want to know about lacto-fermentation and spicy stuff - Kevin’s your guy.
Always wanted to make your own hot sauces at home, but unsure where to start? Looking to up your game on the Scoville scale? Or are you in need of a spicy gift for a friend? Then this is for you.
During this afternoon Kevin will take us through;
1) the basics of lacto-fermentation, including science and benefits, plus various pepper profiles (heat/flavour)
2) a tasting of different fermented hot sauces
3) a hands-on hot sauce fermentation preparation; mix & mash various peppers, fruit and veg to make your own hot sauce.
We will aim to wrap up and close down around 16:30 (but the exact time will depend on the number of questions).
