Pickled beets are a pantry staple that many of us grew up with.  Fresh beets harvested from the garden and pickled by our grandparents were added to the table most dinner nights to serve alongside many "meat and potato" type dinners.   Pickled beets evoke a nostalgic memorable taste and the balance of sweet and tangy is just wonderfully "more-ish".  We here at Wozz! make an Indian Spiced Pickled Beet Relish that takes the traditional pickled beet just a step forward and gives it a little more depth of flavor with some added spices.  Nevertheless, this pickled beet relish can be used in the same context as a plain ole jar of pickled beets;  alongside roasted meats and potatoes, as an accompaniment to cold cuts and cheese platters or spooned over sandwiches and burgers.  Here are our best and easiest ways to use pickled beet relish.

If you are like me, you love eggs - scrambled, poached or fried for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Served on buttery toast with a side of crispy bacon or ham, with sauteed mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, fresh avocado, fried halloumi cheese or crispy potatoes, the classic accompaniments and sides are all good in my opinion.  There are so many options to making the ultimate egg breakfast and it all can be elevated even further with the right sauce.  From barbecue to ketchup to hot sauce with a lot of special sauces in between, here are our favorite condiments and sauces for eggs and sides of any kind.

Hot Sauce

Hot sauce is my absolute go-to for my morning eggs (and I don't think I am alone in this addiction).  Whether it be our Serrano Cilantro Lime Hot Sauce on buttery velvety scrambled eggs with flame grilled flatbread or a little sriracha on my fried egg and cheese sandwich, hot sauce adds a zingy uplifting bite.  It's a must have if you are making any Mexican style breakfast from burritos or Huevos rancheros. 

Pictured Below:  Scrambled Eggs with Wozz! Serrano Cilantro Lime Hot Sauce

Barbecue Sauce

Add barbecue sauce to a fried egg, cheese and ham breakfast roll or add to a steak and egg sandwich.  You can also add our Korean Gochujang BBQ Sauce to this shaved steak and egg burrito breakfast sandwich (it's so so so good!)

Pictured Below:  Shaved Steak Breakfast Burrito with Wozz! Korean Barbecue Sauce

Sambal

Sambal is another form of hot sauce but it's got a little more depth and consistency to it.  Our Super Hot Chili Sambal is an Asian style sambal, made with fresh ground chilis. It has a hint of sweetness with fresh lemon tang (vs vinegar tang that you get with more traditional hot sauce) and it's seasoned with fish sauce.  It's pretty hot - a little goes a long way.  Spoon a little on your poached eggs on toast, spread it on a breakfast sandwich or wrap or drizzle on scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs or an omelet. 

Pictured Below:  Poached Eggs on Avocado Toast with Hot Chili Sambal

Moroccan Tomato Sauce 

If you have never experienced Moroccan Shakshuka then you are missing out on a hearty full flavored breakfast indulgence!  It sounds complicated and looks like it maybe a little too sophisticated and difficult to make but it's actually pretty easy.  You simply add crushed tomatoes, diced onions and red peppers to a skillet with Moroccan seasonings (or you can use our Moroccan Tomato Onion Relish), cook it out and then make little wells in the sauce and poach your eggs .  Then you let it simmer while covered and serve your eggs and Moroccan sauce on toast.  It's a wonderful breakfast dish for a winter weekend or Sunday brunch.   

Picture Below:  Moroccan Tomato Shakshuka {poached eggs in a Moroccan Tomato Sauce}

Salsa Verde

Love that fresh zesty cilantro lime bite but without the overwhelming heat of a hot sauce?  Then salsa verde it is.  It's the perfect "green condiment" that is fresh and tangy to add atop scrambled eggs, breakfast burritos, frittatas and omelets.   

Pickled Beet Relish

If you have ever had an Australian style café style breakfast than you have witnessed beets on the breakfast menu.  Beet hummus or pickled beets with poached eggs and sourdough is a classic Aussie beachside breakfast.   We make a beet hummus by combining our Indian Spiced Pickled Beet Relish with some chickpeas in a food processor and add it alongside some poached eggs with toasted sourdough, salad greens, sliced avocado and grilled halloumi cheese.  

Pictured Below:  Poached Eggs with Pickled Beet Hummus

Pepper Jelly

Pepper Jelly adds a sweet and spicy addition to your fried egg, cheese and bacon English muffin sandwich and adds a nice pop of flavor to a frittata or omelet.  We like to add our Green Tomato Jalapeno Pepper Jelly to a southwest style egg and black bean wrap for a sweet spicy jalapeno bite.  You can also add a little dollop of hot pepper jelly onto a hard boiled egg.

Ketchup or a Tomato Based BBQ Sauce

Our Spicy Tomato Kasundi BBQ Sauce is a cross between a smoky BBQ sauce and a globally inspired tomato ketchup and it's pretty delicious on a breakfast sandwich or added to scrambled eggs with crispy potatoes.  You can also go with the tried and true staple that is ketchup but a little extra spice, depth and smokiness is always good with eggs.

Pictured Below:  Ham, Egg and Avocado Breakfast Bagel with Spicy Tomato Kasundi BBQ Sauce

There you have it, our favorite sauces and condiments for eggs!  From Korean BBQ Sauce to Serrano Cilantro Lime Hot Sauce.  Mix it up and enjoy.

"Sauce Up Your Eggs" Breakfast Sauces Trio

Fish and seafood don't always have to be served with the traditional accompaniments of lemon wedges, dill sauce or cocktail sauce.  Although these options are tried and true and still make fish and seafood delicious, there are plenty of other sauces and condiments that will liven up your dishes and add a flavor boost that is both unique and exciting for the palate.  Try something new, change things up and enjoy a different flavor experience with our top favorite sauces and condiments for fish and seafood.

4.  Thai Orange and Ginger Relish

Thai Orange and Ginger Relish is a spicy tangy relish made with fresh orange and citrus, Thai curry spices, pickled carrot, ginger and cilantro.  We like to serve it with a white fish "en papillotte" style, which simply means wrapped in parchment paper or foil and baked in the oven.  It's healthy, clean, low calorie and delicious.  You can also add this relish to a fish curry with coconut milk or use as a condiment for shrimp tacos.

5.  Bruschetta Caponata Relish

Bruschetta Caponata is a Sicilian eggplant tomato relish with green olives, capers and garlic.  It's wonderful served over roasted white fish with olive oil and fresh chopped oregano.  It also can be used as a pasta sauce for a fish or seafood linguine.  Simply toss your cooked linguine with butter, fresh herbs, olive oil and a little salt and pepper, add your choice of seafood or cooked fish (clams, shrimp or fish), top with caponata relish and shaved parmesan.  Voila!

7.  Mango Chutney

Mango Chutney with it's fruity, gingery and spicy flavor profile is a fun delicious way to jazz up fish and seafood.  You can use it like a salsa and spoon it over grilled fish for a light summer meal or you can use it as a finishing sauce by adding it to your fish in the last few minutes of cooking in the oven (just until it's bubbly and a little sticky).  Adding a few fresh ingredients to your mango chutney, like fresh mint or cilantro and a squeeze of lime really livens it up when using it like a salsa especially for fish tacos!  We also love it with baked curry spiced salmon and as a dipping sauce for coconut shrimp.

Pictured Below:  Coconut Shrimp with Mango Chutney Dipping Sauce

A fruit chutney is made by simmering chopped fruits and vegetables with added acidity from vinegar or citrus and adding spices and sometimes herbs. The balance of flavors in a fruit chutney is not as straight forward sweet as a fruit jam and not as sour as a pickle.  A fruit chutney has a balanced medley of sweet, tangy and savory flavors.

Depending on the varieties of fruit chutney they can be sweet tart and spiced such as in a traditional cranberry chutney with cranberries, sugar, aromatic sweet spices and orange or they can be more sweet and spicy such as in an Indian mango chutney with mango, vinegar, ginger, coriander and chili.  Bottom line is they are delicious and offer a complex flavor profile that lends itself to being quite versatile in the kitchen.  Fruit chutneys are a fantastic accompaniment to a variety of dishes from appetizers, to roasted meats to cheese plates, curries and sandwiches.  Here are our recommendations on how to best use a fruit chutney.

Fruit chutney is a classic accompaniment for roasted meats.  From cranberry chutney to plum and apple chutney to an apricot and ginger chutney, they are a lovely addition to the table when serving roast turkey, pork tenderloin, pork chops, chicken, roast beef and duck.

2.  Serve Fruit Chutney With Cheese

Chutney is a wonderful addition to any cheese plate.  Pair an aged cheddar with a sweet and spicy fruit chutney such as our Green Tomato Jalapeno or serve a blueberry chutney with an aged goats cheese.  Fig chutney is a cheese pairing pantry staple and works well with most cheese varieties including sharp blues, brie and goats cheese.  A caramelized onion chutney can be paired with cheddar, Manchego and stilton for a more savory cheese pairing spread.

3.  In A Ploughman's Lunch

The British style Ploughman's lunch has all the fixings that go so well with a fruit chutney; crusty bread, cheddar cheese, pickles and cold cuts.  You add a little sweet savory and tangy chutney such as a mango chutney, tomato chutney or date chutney to this meal and all the flavors just come together.  Simple and delicious!

4.  As An Accompaniment To Indian Curries and Indian Cuisine

Indian cuisine and chutney go together hand in hand.  India is where chutneys originated and there are a ton of variations of Indian style chutneys from fresh savory herbaceous chutneys to hot spicy pickle chutneys.  The most popular chutney in the US is Major Grey's chutney which is a mango chutney.  It's delicious paired with Indian curries such as beef vindaloo and chicken tikka masala. The sweetness of the mango chutney actually helps balance the chili heat that comes when you eat spicy curries.

5.  As A Salad Dressing Ingredient

Add a little sweetness and spice to a simple homemade vinaigrette recipe by adding a spoonful of chutney.  Simply whisk in a couple tablespoons of fruit chutney to your base of vinegar, lemon, honey, Dijon and salt and pepper.  Most chutney varieties will work from a plum chutney to a mango chutney.  You can also add a spoonful of fruit chutney to your coleslaw recipe.

6.  As an Accompaniment To A Charcuterie Board

Add a fruit chutney such as a cherry or fig chutney, green tomato chutney or caramelized onion spread to a charcuterie board of cured meats, crackers, cheese and pickles.  A little fruit chutney adds a beautiful addition to your charcuterie board and adds that sweet addition to the savory salty cured meats and pickles.

7.  As A Sandwich Condiment

A fruit chutney can be used a few different ways on a variety of sandwiches.  You can add a light layer of chutney to your bread, like on a simple ham and cheese sandwich or you can mix a little chutney in with your mayo.  You can also add a fruit chutney such as a cranberry, apricot or mango chutney to a chicken salad sandwich for a flavor pop.  I also like to glaze meatballs with a sweet and spicy pepper chutney and add them to a roll for a delicious meatball sub.

8.  Add Fruit Chutney To Puff Pastry Appetizers

A jar of fruit chutney is great to have on hand for easy puff pastry appetizers.  You can make so many appetizer varieties with chutney, cheese and puff pastry from mini tarts to pinwheels to baked brie en croute to puff pastry bundles.  A super simple recipe is mini tarts, just add a little bit of cheese to your mini tarts (goats cheese, brie, camembert), top with chutney and bake for 10 minutes, then garnish with chopped nuts or fresh herbs.  Entertaining made easy.

9.  Use Fruit Chutney As An Accompaniment To Grilled Fish and Seafood

A tropical style chutney is lovely with a nice piece of grilled fish such as mahi mahi, swordfish or halibut.  A mango or pineapple chutney is also fantastic with grilled shrimp. You can always elevate a jar of chutney by adding extra fresh ingredients to liven it up, you can add a squeeze of fresh citrus like lemon or lime to your chutney or add extra chopped cilantro or mint.  It gives it an extra pop, especially for fish and seafood.

10. Pair Fruit Chutney with Grilled Meats

Serving chutney alongside grilled meats adds a punch of flavor to really simple meals such as grilled chicken breasts, flank steak or pork chops.  A tropical style chutney such as mango or pineapple is delicious in the summertime with grilled chicken or pork chops.  A spiced dried fruit or cherry chutney is well suited for fall and winter when you are using a grill plate indoors or pan searing something like pork chops or sausages.

11.  Use Fruit Chutney As A Topping For Baked Brie

What is a holiday table without a baked brie with fruit chutney?  It's a classic pairing that we all love and crave every holiday season.  An apricot or dried fruit chutney or fig jam is often times used in a brie en croute but a blueberry or spiced cherry compote is also delicious choice.  You can also add additional toppings to your chutney to spoon over the baked brie including chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans and fresh herbs such as rosemary and thyme.

12. Fold Fruit Chutney Through Rice, Beans and Stuffing

Add a spoonful of fruit chutney to your rice dishes, bean salads and stuffing mix for some additional fruit flavor and spice.  We love a tropical style pineapple chutney folded through rice and served with grilled shrimp skewers.  We also add date and orange chutney to our stuffing mix with fresh sage, thyme and rosemary.  You can also add some mango chutney to coconut rice and serve with chicken.

13.  Garnish A Moroccan Stew or Tagine with Fruit Chutney

Add a chutney such as a date and orange chutney to your Moroccan tagines to add a touch of sweet dried fruit to the savory flavor profile.  Many Moroccan tagines (Moroccan stew) use both savory ingredients such as preserved lemons, garlic, onions and olives and balance the savory flavors with sweet dried fruits and aromatic spices such as cinnamon.  So adding a spiced dried fruit chutney can be used in place of your dried fruit ingredients when making something such as a lamb tagine.  

14. Top Burgers, Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Meatball Subs with Chutney

Add a mango or pineapple chutney to your next turkey burger or BBQ pulled pork sandwich.  You can also glaze meatballs with sweet and spicy pepper jelly and serve in a sub roll with fresh veggies and mayo or top a chicken burger with Green Tomato Jalapeno Pepper Jelly for sweet tangy and spicy kick.

15.  Use As A Dipping Sauce

Use a tangy and spicy fruit chutney as a dipping sauce for eggrolls, beef skewers, fried shrimp, papadums, samosas, savory meat pies, fritters, chicken tenders and more.

16.  Use Fruit Chutneys To Season Vegetables

From brussels sprouts to green beans, a little chutney can add a wonderful sweet spiced addition to your veggie dishes.  You can mix up dried fruit chutney with toasted nuts and feta cheese and spoon over butternut squash or add an onion chutney to green beans with bacon.

17.  Add Fruit Chutney To A Stir Fry

Add a sweet and spicy chutney to a stir fry of chicken, beef or tofu with veggies.  We love a beef stir fry with a little Thai Hot Pepper Jelly added to a soy sesame base and we add mango chutney to a chicken, green beans and cashew stir fry for a fresh mango pop.  

18.  Spoon over Tacos

Spoon a sweet and spicy fruit chutney such as a mango chutney or pineapple chutney over shrimp tacos or beef and bean tacos with a little sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lime.  Delicious!

19.  Mix Fruit Chutneys Into Dips

Add a spoonful of fruit chutney to sour cream or cream cheese for a creamy dip that you can serve with crackers or vegetable crudité.  Cranberry chutney or pepper jelly with cream cheese is an easy crowd favorite during the holiday season.  Another delicious option is a tomato relish or a dried fruit chutney spooned over whipped goats cheese and served with crostini.  Adding a fig chutney to an olive tapenade helps offsets the saltiness of the olives and adds a deeper richer flavor to the tapenade.

20.  Add Fruit Chutney To Crock Pot Meals

Add fruit chutney to the crockpot when making meals such as crockpot pulled pork or party meatballs.  From cranberry meatballs to pineapple pork to mango chicken to Moroccan stew.

21.  Fruit Chutney For Holiday Entertaining

Fruit chutney during the holidays is a staple pantry ingredient and makes a gorgeous and tasty accompaniment to holiday appetizers, cheese plates, baked brie, roasted meats and charcuterie boards.  From Thanksgiving turkey with cranberry chutney to a baked brie with an apricot cherry sultana chutney, a fruit chutney is a must-have condiment during the holidays (at least in our house).

1.  An Accompaniment To Tacos, Fajitas and Enchiladas

A "verdé" style hot sauce such as our Serrano Cilantro Lime Hot Sauce is a staple accompaniment to have when serving a variety of Mexican dishes including some of our favorites: tacos, fajitas and enchiladas!  Simply drizzle atop chicken fajitas, Mexican carnitas or grilled shrimp tacos for some tangy spicy heat.

If you are looking for some fresh tang and heat on your wings then Serrano Cilantro Lime Hot Sauce is a top pick.  From grilled wings to fried wings to fried cauliflower bites, this sauce is an alternative to your traditional buffalo style hot sauce.

3.   Mix Serrano Hot Sauce Into Dips, Salsa and Mayo

Add our Serrano Cilantro Lime Hot Sauce to guacamole for extra flavor and heat, mix into a salsa, add to queso cheese dip or mix in sour cream for dipping taquitos or tortilla chips.  Add to mayo and dress a chicken sandwich or drizzle over roasted veggies.

4. Eggs

5.  Burritos

Who doesn't love a burrito without a little hot sauce?  or at least some chili?  Red or Green right?  {I choose green}  Add Serrano hot sauce to a bean and cheese burrito or a Southwest style breakfast burrito with sausage, eggs, peppers and cheese.  

6.  Soups, Stews and Chili

You can add a dash of Serrano Hot Sauce to a number of soups, stews or chili if you want to add a little extra bright spicy kick.  It's especially delicious on a cold winters night when you just need to take the chill off.  We use it in Tex Mex style beef and bean chilis, we add it to chicken noodle and corn soup and to Salsa Verde Chicken Soup (the recipe below uses our Kiwi Lime Salsa Verde but we always add extra Serrano Hot Sauce at the end for that extra kick)

Pictured Below:  Salsa Verde Chicken Soup {we use our Kiwi Lime Salsa Verde in the broth of this but we top it with fresh avocado, cilantro, sour cream and a drizzle of Serrano hot sauce for extra oomph}

7. Add Hot Sauce To A Marinade

Add a tablespoon of Serrano Cilantro Lime Hot Sauce to a mix of olive oil, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, cumin, salt and pepper for a chicken marinade for fajitas and tacos.  Add a dash of Serrano Hot Sauce to some soy sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic and vinegar for a delicious flank steak marinade.  

8. Beans and Rice Dishes

Drizzle over all your bean and rice dishes, burrito bowls, shrimp and grits or polenta. 

9. Seafood Sauce

Serve it on it's own or add to mayo for a lime-y spicy creamy dip for fried shrimp, calamari, crab or fish.  Delicious on fish tacos, shrimp tostadas and crab cakes.

10. Pizza

Need that tangy kick of spice on your pizza?  I feel ya.  I personally love a Serrano Hot Sauce or a "green" style hot sauce on my sweeter or richer style pizza's such as BBQ chicken, bacon ranch, a meat lover's or a steak and cheese pizza.
