This recipe is intended for use in a chocolate fountain, preferably one with a provided viscosity test funnel.
1 small sweet onion
4 cloves fresh garlic
4 Tbs unsalted butter
1 28-oz can tomato sauce
1 6-oz can tomato paste
1 3.75-oz bottle Joe Perry’s Rock Your World™ Boneyard Brew Hot Sauce
Kosher salt
Extra virgin olive oil and corn starch (may be needed later)
Peel the skin from the onion and chop it. Peel the cloves of garlic. Lay each clove of garlic on a cutting board, place a chef’s knife flat against the garlic, and smack the flat knife with the heel of your hand to crack each clove open. Once the garlic is crushed, mince it.
Melt the butter in a skillet. Once it’s melted, sauté the onion and garlic until they’re translucent. Remove the sautéed onion and garlic from the heat and transfer it to the bowl of a food processor. Purée the onion and garlic into a smooth paste, stopping the food processor occasionally to scrape the bowl down before restarting. Add the contents of the cans of both the tomato sauce and the tomato paste to the smooth onion and garlic paste, and continue puréeing until smooth.
Transfer the sauce from the food processor to a 2-quart saucepan. Set the pan over low heat, cover it, and heat the sauce to a slow simmer. Add the contents of the jar of Joe Perry’s Rock Your World™ Boneyard Brew Hot Sauce, cover it again, and allow to simmer for 5 minutes. Add Kosher salt to taste.
Remove the sauce from the heat and test it with the viscosity test funnel. If the sauce is too thick, add extra virgin olive oil in increments of 1 teaspoon. If too thin, add sifted corn starch in increments of 1 teaspoon. Simmer the sauce for a few minutes before re-testing and adding more thinning or thickening agents as necessary.
Once the sauce is the has the right viscosity, taste it and add more salt if necessary.
Set up the fountain, making sure it’s level and on a flat surface. Allow the bowl of the fountain to heat without turning on the fountain’s motor. When the fountain’s bowl is hot, pour the warm sauce into it, then turn on the fountain’s motor to start the flow.
Notes:
1. Be sure to serve larger or “jumbo” chicken wings so they’re easier to dip into the flowing sauce. And don’t forget to provide a pile of packages of moist towelettes.
2. If you make this sauce ahead of time and refrigerate it, be sure to warm it in a pot on the stove prior to using it in the fountain.
3. This would be considered a “mild” wing sauce. If you like wing sauces that are a bit hotter, add another 3.75-oz bottle Joe Perry’s Rock Your World™ Boneyard Brew Hot Sauce.
4. As I used Contadina tomato paste and Dei Fratelli tomato sauce in this wing sauce, it passed the viscosity test the first time I tried it
