hot hot sauce

Do try this: Take dried red peppers, a little bit of tamarind if you can get hold of, a handful of peanuts, some garlic. Soak dried red peppers, tamarind and peanuts in water. Extract paste from tamarind discarding pith. Run all these through a fine blender with some water to make a paste like consistency, add salt and some cumin seed powder. enjoy the paste.

A question for all other Piri Piri Lovers?

I only stumbled across Piri Piri by sheer luck, and love the bite it packs. I cooked the sauce recipe and loved it... worth the effort! Just wondering if anyone else has any other sauce ideas or recipes that make the taste even better. If so please share?

piri, peri

In Portuguese, letter 'i' is pronounced as a long 'e' in English. Spelling the name of the sauce 'peri peri' for English speakers produces a pronunciation closer to that used by Portuguese speakers, i.e. 'peery peery'. A variation on this piri piri sauce recipe which I rather like is to add some rather more fiery chillies. One minced habanero chilli pepper added to the 10-12 bird's eyes makes this a bit more interesting for fire eaters. :)

I thought it is spelled as "peri-peri"?

You could see how good this was going to be just by watching it on T.V. I could almost taste it. I immediately went the next day and made it the same way, over hot coals. Believe me. It Is well worth the effort. One Word "DIVINE
