Preparation Steps

1

Prepare the Ingredients

Peel the garlic cloves and set them aside. Remove the stems from the red chili peppers and chop them roughly.

2

Blend the Ingredients

In a blender, combine the garlic cloves, chopped chili peppers, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, salt, black pepper, and vinegar.

3

Blend Until Smooth

Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more olive oil or vinegar to adjust the consistency.

4

Taste and Adjust

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as necessary, adding more salt, lemon juice, or chili for extra heat.

5

Store the Sauce

Transfer the Garlic PERi-PERi sauce to a clean jar or bottle. It can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
