What can I use to take sweetness out of a pot of chilli I made. I ran out of tomato sauce and used paste instead now it's too sweet. I don't want to not eat it, but right now, it's too sweet!
Over salting or sugaring, if done to unpleasantness, is almost impossible to fix -- NO MATTER what tales you have been told about adding potatoes, etc.
For chili ----- MAYBE adding more HEAT [your choice]. But remember, the more you cook it, the more it reduces, and the sweeter it will get ,.....
QUESTION: How did chili paste make it sweet ? Canned tom sauces usually have 'some' sugar [very minimal] BUT pastes usaully have none.
