You remember being surprised by the name of this sauce as well as by its flavor. The locals explained to you that this accompaniment was named after the eponymous knife that allows you to finely chop the herbs and spices that make it up.

Chien Creole Sauce is native to the West Indies and has the appearance of a mixture of green condiments, it might make you think of a kind of spicy vinaigrette. But it is much more than that. It is one of the bases of the Caribbean cuisine.

I have chosen to offer you a ready to use Spice Mix - Creole Dog Sauce to take you on a Creole journey in a jiffy.

This one is made of 4 essential ingredients to be able to find these unique flavors: garlic, onion, parsley, hot pepper. Each of them has been carefully selected to concoct a blend of unparalleled flavors.

It's up to you to choose whether you want to add a bit of sauce to your Creole Dog Sauce or not.
