OLE Chilli Sauce / peri peri
I have tried your piri piri; I think it's ok; but for serious chilli lovers like me, I enjoy the chille sauce from a portuguese chicken shop called O'LE Chicken in Kensinton (142 Anzac Pde, Kensington 2033). Their chilli sauce is oil based, very hot but has really nice flavors. I bought some their chilli sauce home and put in all my meals. your guys should try it.

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. :)

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

In a pickle

If you want to pickle your own fish or cucumbers, it’s essential your jars and lids are properly sterilised before sealing to avoid spoilage. Preheat the oven to 120°C and line a baking tray with a clean tea towel. Wash the jars and lids in hot soapy water, then place in a large saucepan of cold water and bring to the boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Using metal tongs, carefully remove the jars and lids from the water and place upside down on the lined tray. Place in the oven for 15–20 minutes or until dry. Alternatively, place the jars and lids in the dishwasher and run on the hottest cycle. This is a good option if you’re using rubber seals or plastic lids. As a rule, hot preserves should go into hot jars and cold preserves into cold jars.
