What's Your Favorite Condiment To Cook With?
 

I love condiments. In fact, my "collection" of condiments was a deciding factor on what refrigerator to buy. It had to have lots of door space for all of my jars of goodies. I have all of the common things like catsup, mustard, mayo, etc., but it's the exotic concoctions that I'm most intrigued with, like gochujang, tamarind paste, garlic-chili paste, sesame oil and some homemade stuff. What are some of your favorites?

The good concentrated broth pastes. I use chicken, beef, vegetable, mushroom, and ham broths. I use cream cheese in most all sauces except gravies. I took a two month gourmet cooking class a long time ago and learned how to boost flavor with flavor. A jar of good pesto sauce is a must have in my fridge too.

I guess I use a lot of ketchup as I go through bottles of it...or maybe I make a lot of meatloaf!

Truffle oil, Hoisen sauce, rice vinegar.Sherry, sesame oil, raspberry chipotle sauce, are a few that come to mind that I make sure I have on hand.

Roasted red pepper pesto...mix it with chicken broth and cream cheese for an amazing sauce.
Thai sweet chili sauce
Balsamic glaze
Lots of mustards, but my favourite is Russian.

Nutello, Hot fudge, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, blue cheese dressing, orange infused honey. (I don't know if you consider those condiments but they are in my fridge door.

I like a lot of the above. Being a Texan salsa and hot sauces take a lot of space here.

Definitely pesto. We also love tahini for making hummus.

Salsa, worcestershire, bbq sauce, honey dijon mustard, ketchup, butter. Love me some butter.

My homemade green tomato relish (recipe on BH&G website). It is great in tuna/chicken/ham salad. Oriental sauces for sure. And salsa. I put it in my chili when there are 2 or 3 jars open and need to be used.
