The Cousin: a sweet heat Italian deli sandwich with roasted red pepper and gochujang.
It started with a question I wish I could ask my great grandfather, who was from Positano: what would he think of gochujang and fish sauce on a deli sandwich? The town next door, Cetara, has made a fermented anchovy sauce for hundreds of years, so maybe he would not be surprised.
Mortadella, pepperoni, smoked mozzarella, arugula and pickled red onion, tied together by a roasted red pepper sauce. The whole recipe is on the site.

🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 5 star review from Austin L: Dynamic flavor profiles

This hot sauce isn’t just something you whimsically grab at the grocery store and store in the back of your pantry and forget about it… this sauce is something you will want to use on the regular! The flavor profiles of each sauce I’ve had are dynamic and surprising and leave you feeling jazzed about what you just experienced.

What gets me most excited about this sauce? The future. I believe that the innovation will continue through their future line of sauces and I can’t wait for more!

Chilaquiles exists to use up old tortillas and chips, which makes it the perfect brunch the day after carnitas night.
I use Green Jalapeño Cilantro in place of a salsa verde to soften and fry the chips in. Traditional chilaquiles start with boiling and blending tomatillos, jalapeños and garlic. The sauce already did that work. Add fried eggs, avocado, cotija and a little leftover carnitas if you have it. No carnitas? It still holds up.
The full recipe is on the site.

Slow cooker carnitas, the crowd-pleasing kind. It makes a lot of food, it isn't much work, it's great the next day, and it's mostly an excuse to make homemade corn tortillas and eat a lot of hot sauce.
The one odd trick is a tablespoon of soy sauce or fish sauce stirred in with the orange juice. You won't taste it, but it makes the pork taste more like pork. Then I broil it until the edges char and top it with Green Jalapeño Cilantro, whose cilantro and vinegar cut through the richness.
Full recipe, plus ideas for the leftovers, on the site.

Tried the Mexican Coffee and Jalapeno Cilantro! They were both very flavorful and perfect amount of heat! Def will be ordering again! UPS damaged the package, and Jake got it sent out with an extra bottle for my troubles! Great customer service and amazing hot sauces! 10/10.

Pad see ew has a side jar of chilies in vinegar for a reason: it balances the char and the soy. Black Garlic Sriracha does that same job, so I skipped the extra jar and built it into the sauce.
Wide rice noodles, high heat, real char, and a slow building heat. The full recipe, including what each piece of the sauce is doing, is on the site.

While I think sriracha is good, I tend to find it to be too distinct and narrow in its application. This sriracha brings the right subtlety and surprising new flavor, and that makes it both better tasting and more widely applicable to lots of foods. I’ve been loving it on my sandwiches.

The Wayward Kitchen is live: the whole lineup, four sauces, in one box.

Mexican Peppers & Coffee (made with Stitch Cafe) for fried eggs and taco Tuesday. Green Jalapeño Cilantro for anything grilled, charred or roasted. Black Garlic Sriracha for pizza, eggs and noodles. Red Ghost Squash, the hottest sauce I make, for curry, fried chicken and cheeseburgers.

One of everything, no decisions required. The count is limited by how much Ghost Squash I have left, and it ships to Oklahoma addresses only.

Absolutely obsessed with Green Jalapeño Cilantro. It has the perfect fresh, bright kick from the jalapeño, with cilantro that actually tastes vibrant instead of overpowering. Spicy enough to wake up a meal without blowing out your taste buds. I’ve put it on tacos, eggs, bowls, and honestly just about everything else since getting it only two days ago!
