Tabasco recipe collection

Six flavored popcorn ideas: strawberry, cappuccino, blue cheese, curry-cumin, chili, and Tabasco. One base recipe, six seasoning combos mixed into melted butter.

Gaslight Restaurant peppercorn dressing with Parmesan, cracked black pepper, garlic, Worcestershire, and hot sauce in a mayo base. A bold, restaurant-style dressing you can make at home.

Georgetown red rice cooked in bacon fat with tomatoes, onions, ketchup, and chicken broth. The Lowcountry South Carolina classic that holds the line as the unofficial state rice dish, smoky and tomato-stained.

Chicken chili with kidney beans, diced apples, and tomato juice simmered low and slow for two hours. A lighter chili with a surprising sweet-savory twist from fresh apples.

Halibut Creole bakes firm white fish under a topping of tomatoes, green pepper, and onion, then drizzles a Tabasco-spiked lemon butter over the top for a 25-minute Louisiana-style supper. Works equally well with cod or other firm white fish.

Hearty meat and Vidalia onion pie layers ground beef, sweet onions, mushrooms and a Swiss-cheddar sour cream custard over a flaky buttermilk biscuit crust. Southern comfort food in a skillet pie.

Baked hot bean dip with cream cheese, cheddar, Monterey Jack, sour cream, and taco seasoning, spiked with hot sauce. Bubbling, cheesy, and perfect with tortilla chips.

Hungarian vegetarian soup with pearl barley, split peas, potatoes, and carrots simmered in white wine, thickened with a butter roux and finished with vegetable juice and liquid smoke.

Jerk beef marinated 24 hours in allspice, thyme, hot sauce, and crushed tomatoes, then sauteed until browned. Serve over white rice for a Caribbean weeknight dinner.

German potato salad with a twist: warm potatoes tossed in a tangy beer-based dressing with bacon, mustard, and a kick of hot sauce for Oktoberfest or summer cookouts.

Three-ingredient lemon caper mayonnaise with fresh lemon zest and chopped capers. A quick condiment for grilled fish, crab cakes, roasted vegetables, or sandwiches.

Fried eggplant rounds with Parmesan crust topped with a creamy crab and shrimp sauce flavored with liquid crab boil, cream cheese, and Tabasco. A Cajun-style showstopper.

Herbed rice cake baked with cheddar, dill, parsley, onion, and a hit of Tabasco. Cuts into crisp-edged squares that work as a side or vegetarian main.

Mandarin shrimp stir-fry made entirely in the microwave with broccoli, bell peppers, and a glossy orange marmalade glaze spiked with ginger and soy sauce. Ready in 30 minutes over rice.

Rich Creole-style mock turtle soup with beef, tasso, and a dark roux, simmered until the meat melts into a spicy, tangy broth. Finish with hard-boiled eggs and a splash of sherry.

New Orleans shrimp and squash bisque with yellow squash, potatoes, and carrots pureed smooth, then finished with cooked shrimp, dill, and hot sauce. Creamy without any cream.
