Mad Dog 357 Hot Sauce — Mad Dog 357 Hot Sauce

M is for Mad Dog. C is for capers and cauliflower. It’s all good stuff, no matter what you call it. This is one of the best veggie dishes for you to set on the Christmas table; it will be gobbled like there’s no tomorrow. Really it’s that good. This dish serves about four as a side, but we recommend doubling it for six people because it just never seems to go far enough. And, feel free to indulge in the wine left in the bottle. It’s Christmas after all.

These gorgeously fiery corn fritters are perfect for weekend brunch when you serve them with some crisp bacon and poached eggs. They’re also a lovely accompaniment at dinner time. And, let’s not forget about those midnight snacks when there’s seemingly nothing in the house. As long as you keep corn in the freezer or some tins, you’ve got a fantastically fiery side whenever you want it. This will serve between four and ten people, depending on how much of the meal you want them to take up.

There are meatballs… and then there are Swedish Meatballs. There really is a difference, as anyone that’s ever spent a day at IKEA can tell you. And, these Swedish Meatballs are something special. It’s not just the incredible dash of flavor that Mad Dog adds to the mix; it’s that these are unbelievably addictive. It’s a good thing this recipe makes more than 80 meatballs because you’ll go through them fast. Promise.  

This Gumbo recipe does take some time, but few stews will garner you as many compliments. Seriously. And with the Mad Dog kick, you won't be able to resist making this all winter long.
