As seen on The Hot Ones - Season 18
Featuring the saucy world debut of the Mustard X chilli, this baby’s not for the faint at heart and, dare we say it, may just even give the Widow Maker a run for its money.
The Mustard X chilli is a bastardised Bhutlah variety discovered growing on the Moore veggie farm in Carnarvon. It was an accidental find when Leigh was visiting Karyn & Pompey during the Gascoyne Food Festival in 2019 but has since become notorious for its unforgiving heat and deceptively smooth yet earthy flavour. The chilli itself is a twisted beast of a thing and it’s heat hits hard and fast – a punishing pod that takes no prisoners and very nearly broke Leigh during a recent ‘Farmers Pick’ pod test.
Dingo have given exclusive use of the Mustard X for their sauce alchemy and Leigh is extremely proud of the result.
Soooooooo here it is – a Mustard X fermented hot sauce with a flavour profile that pays homage to Morocco combining a ras el hanout style spice blend with garlic and fresh turmeric and a heat that will sucker punch you in the best possible way.
Ingredients: Fresh chile peppers (Moorestard Psycho, Moruga Scorpion, Trinidad Scorpion, Carolina Reaper), water, apple cider vinegar, spices, garlic, salt, mustard.
