Encona Sauces

On The Sauce

Encona has been a constant in my condiment cupboard for over fifteen years. Back then, all I had was the original Hot Pepper Sauce. I used to slice up a clove of garlic, fry and egg, give it a splash of Encona and make the perfect sandwich. Things ahve moved on since then. Now the Encona brand has a shelf all to itself: I've got the Thai Sweet Chilli Dip, which is good with fried prawns. Then there's the Sweet Mango Chiili Dip, which I splash on chicken as it's barbequeing. The Creole Hot Pepper Sauce goes a treat on cold meats. I've never quite got the jerk chicken taste that I had from a roadside shack outside Kingston, but the Jamaican Jerk Sauce comes pretty close. My current favourite, though, is the Smooth Papaya Hot Pepper Sauce: you will never look at a cheese sandwich in the same way once you have livened one up with this. Clear a shelf and stock up.
