Hot-Pepper Oil Sauce - {Piri Piri}

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.

Courses: Sauces
Serves: 1 people

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 lb 227g / 8ozDried hot red peppers - see * Note
1/2 cup 118mlWhiskey
1 cup 237mlVegetable oil
1 cup 237mlOlive oil

Recipe Instructions

* 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.
