Roasted Chile Emulsion
Roasted Chile Emulsion: A mixture with small droplets of one liquid dispersed in another, commonly oil in a water-based purée. Gradual addition and adequate mixing matter; a blended sauce is not automatically a stable emulsion.
Context
Identify the pepper and its heat level; sweet ají and hot chile are not interchangeable. Avoid inhaling ground hot pepper and offer guests a clear indication of heat.
Example
A menu could use this preparation as a freshly mixed sauce beside cooked vegetables. This is an illustrative use, not a standardized recipe.
How THT uses it
At The Hidden Table, this preparation would be adjusted to the guests, the course and the ingredient available, so it contributes a clear purpose and helps make the experience distinctly yours.
