Finishing Sauce

 

How to Use Everyday Gourmet Finishing Sauces

Everyday Gourmet Finishing Sauces—like the fiery Mr. Habanero and the zesty Mr. Jalapeño—are crafted to add that final burst of flavor that takes your dish to the next level. Unlike marinades or cooking sauces, these bold, vinegar-based blends are meant to be used at the end of the cooking process or right at the table. Here’s how to make the most of them:

  1. Brush It On: After grilling or roasting, apply a light layer of sauce to meats like chicken, ribs, or steak to lock in juices and add a glossy, flavorful finish.

  2. Drizzle Before Serving: Add a splash over plated dishes—like tacos, grilled veggies, or pulled pork—for a vibrant punch of heat and acidity.

  3. Mix into Sides: Stir into rice, beans, or roasted potatoes to infuse them with an extra layer of complexity and kick.

  4. Use as a Dip or Accent: Serve on the side for dipping fries, wings, or sandwiches—or even swirl a bit into soups and stews for a spiced-up twist.

Whether you’re craving the bold heat of Mr. Habanero or the bright kick of Mr. Jalapeño, these sauces are your secret weapon for finishing strong.
