PIRI PIRI SAUCE

"An easy-to-make hot sauce. Pronounced "pee-lee pee-lee", also spelled pilipili. From the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, this word is used throughout tropical Africa to refer to hot red peppers, sauces made from them, and foods cooked with these peppers or sauces."

This can be bought by the Portuguese, who use it a good dealas a spicy condiment on pasta, fish or meat and also to flavor stews.

1 1/2 cups olive oil
4 fresh jalapeno peppers, finely chopped, stems and seeds
2 fresh poblano peppers, finely chopped, stems and seeds
1 tablespoon crushed red pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh cilantro (for serving)
1 tablespoon kosher salt (for serving)

In a saucepan, combine the olive oil, peppers, crushed red pepper, salt, and black pepper. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce the heat. Simmer the sauce for 4 minutes and remove from the heat. Stir in the garlic.

With a hand held mixer, puree the sauce until smooth. At this point, allow the sauce to sit for 1 week under refrigeration before serving.

TO SERVE:
Stir in the cilantro and kosher salt.
