PIRI PIRI SAUCE
It's hard to go a day in Mozambique without eating something that's touched with piri piri sauce (sometimes written as peri peri). The sauce, made with chiles, citrus, and oil, is Portuguese in origin, but peri is actually the Swahili word for "chile" and refers to a specific type of chile pepper that is said to have been first cultivated in Africa. While the sauce is traditionally made with piri piri chiles, all different kinds of hot peppers work well. We found that red Fresno chiles, readily available in the United States and not quite as hot as jalapeños, work really well. However, if you can only find jalapeños, just use three fresh ones in place of the red Fresno chiles. Use the sauce anywhere you would use sriracha. Try it on grilled chicken, toss it with raw cashews and then roast them for a great snack with cocktails, stir it into a seafood stew, or use it for Prego Rolls (Steak and Piri Piri Sandwiches).

Steps:
- In the jar of a blender, combine the chiles, garlic, ginger, lime juice, oil, sugar, and salt and puree until smooth. Season to taste with more salt or sugar if you'd like. Transfer to a jar and store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- When making piri piri sauce, use fresh, ripe peppers for the best flavor. Look for peppers that are deep red or orange in color, and avoid any that are bruised or damaged.
- Toast the peppers briefly before blending to enhance their flavor. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or on a baking sheet in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
- Use a food processor or blender to make the piri piri sauce smooth and creamy. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can finely chop the peppers and other ingredients by hand.
- Season the piri piri sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. You may also want to add a bit of garlic powder, onion powder, or smoked paprika for extra flavor.
- Piri piri sauce can be used as a marinade, a dipping sauce, or a condiment. It is also a great addition to soups, stews, and curries.
Conclusion:
Piri piri sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you are using it as a marinade, a dipping sauce, or a condiment, piri piri sauce is sure to add a delicious kick to your meals.
