I am making a summer stew with a tomato base. I got it all ready to add the veggies, but since it's late, decided to refrigerate the base overnight and finish the stew in the morning.
Before I took it off the stove, I decided to add a few drops of Tabasco. I think I overdid it. Is there anything I can add that might tone it down a notch? Maybe a bit of sugar?
FYI - tomorrow will add: new potatoes (not many), corn, yellow squash, zuchinni, lima beans, carrots and mild sausage (already browned). The base is crushed tomatoes, onions, green & red peppers, garlic, salt and pepper.
You can sacrifice a couple of potatoes: chop up two russets and add them to base that you have now, cook on medium for twenty minutes, they will absorbe a lot of that heat. Take the potatoes out and discard. You can add honey or some finely shreaded carrot instead of sugar to the final product.

I would either add potatoes or canned hominy. Both will neutralize the heat.

A "few" drops prolly won't even be noticed with all the other flavors added to it.

I assumed she was being facetious about "a couple drops." I've intended to put in a couple drops of something and accidentally pouring a lot in. If it is truly a couple drops, then the Tabasco isn't the problem. Its probably the three chopped habaneos.
