1
Prepare the Malagueta Peppers
Rinse the Malagueta peppers under cold water and pat dry with a clean towel.
2
Sauté the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chopped garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
3
Cook the Peppers
Add the rinsed Malagueta peppers to the skillet with the sautéed garlic. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the peppers are soft and slightly blistered.
4
Season the Mixture
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the cooked peppers. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
5
Add Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the peppers. Toss to coat evenly.
