Malagueta Sauce
This sauce is based on Malagueta peppers, widely used in Bahian cuisine.
It is very handy if you want to add up some fire to your dishes. You can use it practically with every dish. It can be preserved in the fridge for weeks and in the freezer for years.
If you cannot find fresh Malagueta peppers, try to use red hot chili peppers instead (add a habanero pepper or two to spice it up).
