Creamy pepper sauce with cognac

Superb creamy pepper sauce with cognac mixed with exploding palette of flavours. A bit spicy but, as always, you can adjust the level of peppers and sambal oelek.

Why Do Some Onions Taste Bitter?
It’s because Onion can taste awful or bitter when diced and then are exposed to the air for a while. After about 30 minutes, it’s starting developing a strong bitter taste (oxidization). To avoid this bitterness, do cook them immediately. High heat should never be used to cook onions, because it causes bitterness as well.

Freezer friendly.
Make a double size and divide into portions to freeze and use conveniently when needed.
