Hot-pepper oil sauce (piri piri)
1 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ½ | pounds | Dried hot red peppers; see * Note |
| ½ | cup | Whiskey |
| 1 | cup | Vegetable oil |
| 1 | cup | Olive oil |
Directions
* Note: Buy tiny dried hot red peppers in a Chinese, Thai, or Vietnamese grocery.
Fill a 1-quart glass canning jar one-third full of tiny hot dried red peppers. Add the whiskey then fill the jar with a mixture of one-half olive oil and one-half vegetable oil. Cap the jar and let sit 1 month. Shake now and then during the curing process. You can add more oil as you use up the sauce. Store, covered, at room temperature.
Comments: We must begin our Portuguese cooking with this hot, oil sauce. I have made this sauce with several other different kinds of peppers and the strength varies. This sauce is worth the pepper hunt.
