What it is
This is a medium-heat peri peri chilli sauce. It is made with a blend of chillies, vinegar, and spices. The sauce has a tangy and slightly spicy flavor profile. It is designed to add a kick to various dishes without being overwhelmingly hot. The consistency is smooth and pourable, making it easy to use as a condiment or marinade.
How people cook with it
This sauce is a versatile addition to many meals. It can be used to marinate meats or vegetables, or as a finishing sauce.
- Marinade for chicken
- Drizzle on grilled fish
- Dip for fries
- Flavoring for stir-fries
To marinate, coat your chosen ingredients generously with the sauce and let them sit for at least 30 minutes before cooking. For grilling, brush the sauce onto meats or vegetables during the last few minutes of cooking to achieve a nice glaze. As a condiment, simply pour it over cooked dishes like burgers, tacos, or salads to add a zesty and spicy element. It can also be mixed into mayonnaise or yogurt for a creamy dipping sauce.
