Red Beards Product Review

From Huntington Beach, CA, I received a gift box of hot sauces and a dry rub, from the company Red Beards.

RedBeards has been producing their products, for relatives and friends for over 12 years. It all started when a friend of the family brought over five pounds of Habanero peppers. The sauce that Red Beards. came up with has heat but not, the kind that will kill you in the middle of tasting it on your food. After perfecting the recipe over a ten year period, Red Beards was ready for distribution.

And that's just what I did, I made three dish's with the products, and here they are.

As a appetizer for our meal, I made some meatballs in sauce. For the sauce I mixed some strawberry preserves and some of Red Beards 2X habanero hot sauce together. Then coated the meatballs in the sauce, they came together on point. Now as far as the heat for Red Beards 2X hot habanero sauce, they really brought it. The 2X habanero hot sauce has a appealing fragrance to it. At first you don't get the kick from the habanero, but don't be fooled, its coming. It hides behind the that fragrance, that you get when you first bite into your food. Then all at once you get the taste and flavor of a fire roasted habanero, and it pleasantly lingers for a bit. The balance of the texture, and the ingredients are all aligned perfectly. For a heat lover, this is the perfect hot sauce to eat everyday, but for others the heat might just be to much. The combo of my preserves, and the Red Beards 2X habanero really worked to coat my meatballs. But I can see using this 2X hot sauce as a marinade, as a condiment, or even in pulled pork.

Next up was some baked tilapia, with the Red Beards No.8 dry rub, I used as a coating for the fish. I thought the No.8 dry rub would meld perfectly with the Tilapia, since the fish already is sweet, and mild. And it was a perfect idea. The No.8 dry rub gave the fish a earthy taste, with a kick. The crust of the Tilapia with the No.8 dry rub came out nice and crisp. Since Red Beards No.8 dry rub already has herb seasonings in it, I did not need to add any additional seasoning to the fish. Red Beards, No.8 dry rub is gluten free, no preservatives, no artificial colors, or flavors. Making it a nice homemade healthy rub. The No.8 dry rub just added amazing flavor to the Tilapia, it really complimented it perfectly. Red Beards No.8 dry rub would also be great for just about any type of food. Use it in a sauce, as a marinade, or as a condiment, what ever you choose, the flavor and taste will be amazing.

Thinking out the box, I wanted to incorporate Red Beards Jalapeno hot sauce into dessert. So what I came up with was a spicy hot chocolate sauce for pound cake. Again, it worked! Red Beards Jalapeno hot sauce melded just right in the chocolate, giving it a tangy sweet kick. It's made with the same ingredients, no gluten, preservatives, and no artificial coloring or flavors. This sauce was so good, you just wanted to pick it up and drink it. The taste of Red Beards Jalapeno hot sauce, brings to the table real flavors of a Louisiana style hot sauce. I can really see some crawfish for dinner with the left over Jalapeno hot sauce, for sure! This was a perfect pairing in chocolate, but would be great with fish, eggs, or even just a plain condiment for a grilled burger.
