Peri-Peri Sauce is a blend of spicy African birds eye chili mostly grown in African countries. Its sour, a little sweet, and slightly salty, making it a complex and versatile sauce you can use on almost anything.
My version of this hot sauce includes hot chili peppers from one of the Asian vendors at my local farmers market. They carry a lot of fresh produce (vegetables and fruits) that are hard to get in a regular grocery store. So check out your local farmers market for unexpected treats. You can find this chili pepper (or a close relative) in Asian, Latin, and some Indian markets, but you could also use jalapenos.
The traditional African sauce blends chilies with fresh garlic, red chili pepper, basil, onions, and oregano. Add smoked paprika, salt, lemon, and olive oil to the mix for pure spicy goodness.
This tangy and savory hot sauce is pleasantly intense. However, if you dont care for a lot of acidity in your pepper sauce, try my African pepper sauce . Enjoy!
