Hot Sauce Or Taco Sauce

[Salax]

Anyone out there that is Gluten-free Casein-free and Nightshade free have any recommendations for a spicy sauce for things like tacos or chicken wings?

I am seriously missing my taco sauce/spicy sauces, etc. I need alternatives that are nightshade free which seems to be the main ingredients in products like these.

Thanks!!

I'm not sure, other than tomatoes, what would be night shades. Can you do something like this? Tomatoes are optional.

I have seen sauces made of mostly mushed up peppers with out tomatoes before, too.

I just looked up nightshades. I guess you can't have peppers. Not sure what you could use for spicy. Cinnamon is spicy. Maybe you could find something with that?

If you can have a little driedpepper, maybe a Jerk seasoning? A small amount of dried, powdered cayenne goes a long way.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons dried minced onion

2 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme

2 teaspoons ground allspice

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

In a small bowl, stir together the dried onion, thyme, allspice, ground black pepper, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Coat meat lightly with oil, then rub seasoning onto meat.

Peppers are nightshades Including cayenne.

Except black pepper. That is not considered a nightshade.

I think I miss my nightshades more than gluten and dairy at this point.....lol

Karen, peppers are nightshades.

Salax, google szechuan peppercorn and see if it might spice things up for you. I'm guessing an asian market would carry it. Regular groceries might as well, I've just never looked for it.

This isn't bad maybe I could just remove the cayenne and add more black pepper for a lil spicyness. TY!
