Naomi's Savory Pepper Sauce Product Review

Brilliant Orange

Let me start off by saying that the folks at Naomi's Savory Pepper Sauce company are really nice people; they went out of their way to send me a sample of their pepper sauce. When the sample arrived, I immediately noticed that the bottle was of a very generous size, and that the sauce itself was a beautifully vibrant orange in color!
My curiosity peaked.

The recipe for this curiously orange and spicy sauce has been in existence since 1935 and has been handed down through three generations of their family. Originating from the Caribbean, this sauce has trekked northward and is now in kitchens across the U.S. So I decided to put it to the test in my own kitchen, and I was delighted!

Naomi's is perfect in the recipe or on the side.

Sauteeing with Naomi's

Naomi's Savory Pepper Sauce already has a famous chili recipe that won first place in the 2012 Atlanta Gourmet Gents, so I thought I would start with chili's cousin; the taco.
To a pound of sauteed ground beef with your average taco seasoning blend, I added about two teaspoons of Naomi's Savory Pepper Sauce. Then, I sprinkled a little extra sauce on when I assembled my taco.  It was the perfect mix of both flavor and heat.  Naomi's Savory Pepper Sauce adds an extra something special that is hard to come by in a hot sauce.  If you're looking for that dimension of umami in your spicy dishes, I would highly recommend you keep a bottle of Naomi's in your kitchen.

With simple ingredients,
Naomi's shines through.

Wanting also to test the diversity of the sauce, I decided that a seafood dish was in order. For this one, I chopped a whole onion and sauteed it in olive oil until it began to turn soft. Then I added a can of tomato sauce (8 oz.), about a 1/2 cup of ketchup, 1 tablespoon of Naomi's Savory Pepper Sauce and simmered the mixture for a few minutes. I poured this over some flounder fillets (about 5 large ones) in a glass pan and baked the dish for about 45 minutes at 375º F. The fish was fall-apart-melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

Having made this same recipe before without the Naomi's Sauce, I was impressed with the extra zest it added to the dish (the next time I make it, I think I will add a little more; I like really spicy food). Naomi's Savory Pepper Sauce is very versatile and has many recipe applications. I am excited to have this sauce in my kitchen and cannot wait to experiment with it in other dishes.
