Diane Mina, wife of celebrated chef Michael Mina, utilizes organically grown heirloom tomatoes as the core element in her blends, complemented by herbaceous lovage and savory spices. These homegrown ingredients work together to create a well-balanced foundation. To enhance the flavor profile, she incorporates both lemon and lime juice to provide the ideal citrusy touch. Tabasco and Worcestershire sauces add a zesty and smoky kick that delivers a tangy punch. The blend is rounded out with a mixture of five peppercorns and horseradish to intensify the heat. In her updated version, she adds a savory twist with a bold puree of jalapenos, cilantro, honey, and coriander, elevating the spice level.
