This hot sauce is from Tunisia:

Recipe Name: HARISSA
Category: SAUCES
Serves: 8

1 Cup dried red chile peppers
2 Tsp. Salt
2 cloves Garlic, peeled
About 2 tbls lemon juice
1 Tsp. ground cumin powder
Olive Oil

The fire engine color of this sauce is a sign of what is to come; harissa is hotter then hot. Once it is given a chance to sit for a while, the flavors of the lemon, cumin and chiles mix to make a wonderful sauce.

Used sparingly it adds zest to stews, soups, and casseroles, it is also great served with lamb and beef. Added to dips it kicks things up just a tad.

Be careful it is HOT!


Place the chiles in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water.

Place over high heat and let the water come to a boil.

Remove from heat and let sit for about an hour.

Drain the chiles and place in a blender or food processor along with the salt and garlic.

Blend the mixture and add the lemon juice, bit by bit, to keep the mixture moving. ( If the peppers don't seem to be blending, add additional lemon juice as needed.)

Once the mixture is thoroughly blended, remove and place in a small glass jar.

Stir in the cumin and smooth the mixture down.

Pour enough olive oil over the "harissa" to completely cover the top.

Cover and refrigerate.

Makes about 1/2 cup

Recipe Name: FRESH TOMATO SAUCE
Category: SAUCES
Serves: 4

10 medium Tomatoes
2 ounces Olive oil
1 medium Onion diced
1 teaspo Garlic minced
2 teaspo Basil
1 teaspo Oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

If you have an abundance of fresh tomatoes, you can make a large batch of this sauce and freeze it.


Remove the core from the tomatoes. Plunge the tomatoes in boiling water for 5-10 seconds. Allow to cool. Peel each tomato. Place a colander over a bowl. Cut the tomatoes in half and remove the seeds over the colander. Reserve the liquid and the tomato pulp and set aside. Discard the seeds. Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until just soft. Dice the tomato pulp and add to the pan. Add the reserved liquid, basil, and oregano. Simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring frequently. Check seasonings. Refrigerate or freeze.

Recipe Name: HOMEMADE PESTO SAUCE
Category: SAUCES
Serves: 6

Large bunch of very fresh basil (1 cup after mincing)
1 large garlic clove, very fine sliced and then minced
1/2 cup very finely diced sun-dried tomatoes, preferably oil-packed
2 teasp. raw sugar
1/2 cup pine nuts, preferably roasted and finely chopped or ground
1/3 cup of finely diced or grated Parmagiano-reghgiano or Romano cheese
1/3 cup of very good extra virgin olive oil to produce desired consistency

Mix everything in a wooden or porcelain bowl.

You serve pesto traditionally to warm, cooked pasta but you should try it on grilled chicken or fish also. It's sooo good!

Variations:

Substitute finely chopped walnuts, hazel nuts or pecans for the pine nuts...pistachios are really good, too!

You could also use cilantro for the basil, or parsley or mix both. You might also throw in some fresh thymes, oregano and a bit of chives...you have to try and find out your individual favorites!

Good appetite!

Recipe Name: WALTER JETTON'S MOP FOR ALL BARBECUE
Category: SAUCES
Serves: 12

SOURCE FROM WALTER JETTON

4 quarts bone stock (beef stock)
2 pints Worcestershire Sauce
1 pint vinegar
1 pint oil
3 tables salt
3 tables dry mustard
3 tables MSG (optional)
3 tables paprika
2 tables Louisiana Hot Sauce
2 tables garlic powder
2 tables chili powder
1 tables ground bay leaf

This recipe is exactly the way Water Jetton wrote it down. I modified the instructions a little because he calls for you to make the "bone stock" yourself and most people ask me what exactly is "bone stock". If you are a stickler for authenticity then get a couple of "good stout beef bones" and boil them until you have a good stock. On another note, this recipe makes a gallon of mop, you might want to cut it down a little.


Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let stand overnight.Too thick to pour, so brush it on for rich, delicious flavor & aroma!

Found this on the web, have not made it but it is similar to one I have made:

Louisiana Hot Pepper Sauce



Ingredients:
3 cups Distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons Salt
2 pounds Cayenne OR jalapenos, seeded and chopped



Directions:
- Simmer vinegar, salt and peppers at least 5 minutes.
- Process in processor.
- Store in a glass bottle, in a dark cabinet and let age at least 3 months. Strain when ready to use.

Notes: I add some minced garlic and at least one Habenero pepper for added heat in the version I make. Shadows

Recipe Name: RECADO ADOBO
Category: SAUCES

1/2 tables black peppercorns
3 dried chipotle peppers
1/2 tables coriander seeds
1/2 tables cumin seeds
1/8 teaspo ground cinnamon
2 tables kosher salt
3 tables olive oil

This is a wonderful sauce that is used as a wet rub on beef, pork, and chicken before grilling.

Toast all of the dried spices in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Then grind cooled spices in a spice grinder or molcajete. Stir in the salt and olive oil, and combine thoroughly.

This sauce is great on fish or vegetables, from a 1919 Jewish Cookbook:

PICKLE SAUCE
Cream two tablespoons of butter, add one teaspoon of salt and one tablespoon of chopped pickle. A speck of red pepper may be added.

Title: Mint Sauce
Categories: Sauces, Irish
Yield: 4 servings

3 lg Handfuls of mint leaves
-(stems previously removed)
3 t Granulated sugar
4 T Wine vinegar

(From "English Country Cooking at Its Best" by Caroline Conran.
Villard, 1985).

Wash and shake the mint leaves, sprinkle then with the sugar and chop
them rather finely. Put in a bowl. Heat the vinegar and pour it over
the mint. Add more sugar if you think the sauce is too sharp. Serve
hot or cold with roasted lamb or other meat.

Alternatives: Use lemon juice instead of vinegar and you can also add
a little olive oil. This is not traditional mint sauce, being much
less violent in flavor, but it is exceptionally good.
