๐ง ์ฌ๋ฃ
- 20 Piri piri chilies(Fresh or dried. If using dried, rehydrate in warm water for 15 minutes before use. Remove stems. For less heat, remove seeds and membranes.)
- 6 cloves Garlic(Peeled and roughly chopped.)
- 80 ml Lemon juice(Freshly squeezed is best.)

Prepare the chili base: In a food processor or blender, combine the piri piri chilies (stems removed, seeds optional for heat control), roughly chopped garlic cloves, and fresh lemon juice. Process until a coarse paste forms. Scrape down the sides as needed.
โฑ๏ธ 5 minutes - 2
Infuse the oil: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Do not let it smoke. Once shimmering, carefully add the chili-garlic paste. Stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes until fragrant and the paste darkens slightly. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
โฑ๏ธ 3 minutes - 3
Add remaining ingredients: Pour in the red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, and salt. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
โฑ๏ธ 1 minute - 4
Simmer and thicken: Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce will thicken slightly and the flavors will meld. The aroma should be pungent and spicy.
โฑ๏ธ 10 minutes - 5
Cool and strain (optional): Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce cool completely. For a smoother sauce, you can strain it through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the solids. Discard the solids or reserve for other uses. For a chunkier sauce, skip straining.
โฑ๏ธ 15 minutes - 6
Bottle and store: Transfer the cooled piri piri sauce to a clean, sterilized glass jar or bottle. Seal tightly. Store in the refrigerator. The sauce will keep for several months.
