Tubby Tom’s Scorpion Slammer Chilli Sauce

There are hot sauces that ask for your attention, and then there are sauces that simply take it. Tubby Tom’s Scorpion Slammer falls firmly into the second category. Trinidad Scorpion brings serious heat, but the sauce has enough sharpness, savoury depth and subtle smoke to make it more than a novelty bottle for people with questionable judgement. The red wine vinegar gives it a proper tang, while garlic and onion help keep the flavour grounded beneath all that chilli. It works particularly well when a dish needs both heat and acidity rather than another dollop of sweetness. Try it with rich chilli, grilled meats, tacos or a plate of wings. Just remember that super hot is not a serving suggestion. A sauce for those who enjoy their dinner with consequences.
