African Volcano Peri Peri Gets Spicy With The Brits




South African chef's marinade and sauce get a British chilli injection

African Volcano, a Great Taste award-winning, premium peri peri sauce and marinade that showcases the talents of chef, Grant Hawthorne, has just released the hot version.

Says Hawthorne: "Since launching the medium strength version in March last year, I've been refining the hot version, using Dorset Naga chillies from a small farm in Bedfordshire."
He says, as a chef-producer you look to support the small businesses that have a great product selection.
"The development of the marinade and sauce to have the same base flavour profile as the award-winning medium strength has been a great fun,"
Both the sauce and marinade contain four varieties of chillies: African birds eye; Scotch bonnet; Facing heaven and Dorset Naga. The marinade is vegan-friendly, whilst the sauce is suitable for pescatarians.
"Peri Peri is not just for chicken," says Hawthorne, "It can be used to enhance and complement prawns, pork, beef and vegetables - just about anything. People are starting to get adventurous and play with the flavours in a variety of dishes: Poached eggs to lentil burgers. Bloody Mary cocktails to oysters."
"I'm hoping to publish more recipes that incorporate both the sauce and marinade so that people can experiment with them at home."
A donation of 30 pence from every bottle sold supports the initiatives of Habitat for Humanity's Youth Build project in Cape Town.
Hawthorne's African Volcano stall at the Maltby Street food market in Bermondsey, London, every Saturday is a hit among foodies who can try a variety of peri peri-infused dishes like chicken prego rolls on homemade Portuguese bread, slow-roasted pulled pork on a peri peri bap and giant flame-grilled tiger prawns.
He says a milder and extra hot version of both the sauce and marinade is in the pipeline.

A recipe for perfect Yorkshire pudding

Image
A lot is spoken about Yorkshire pudding but is in not such a very difficult thing to do. All it is, is a batter mix that is put in a mould with some oil so that it soufflés up as it bakes. As long as you follow a few simple rules then you should have a perfect pudding every time. To make the batter you will need. 125g/8oz plain flour 300ml/¾ pint milk 2 eggs Pinch of salt Some vegetable oil. Now a lot of propel say that you need a strong bread flour to make a god batter for Yorkshire puddings but I have found that over time it does not really matter. But if you are going to use a strong flour let it rest for a little longer to allow the glutens to start working and get soaked up in the liquid . Take you flour and sift it in to a bowel to make sure that you do not get any lumps. Then make a well in the middle and crack your eggs in to that. Now taking a whisk start to work the eggs in to the flour. It will start to from a thick paste. If you think that it is getting to hard to work then...
