Ingredients 5 ingredients

  1. 1/2 cup whiskey
  2. 1 cup vegetable oil
  3. 1/2 pound dried hot red peppers -- see * note
  4. 1 cup olive oil
  5. Must

Method

  1. * Note: Buy tiny dried hot red peppers in a Chinese, Thai, or Vietnamese grocery.
  2. Fill a 1-quart glass canning jar one-third full of tiny hot dried red peppers. Add the whiskey then fill the jar with a mixture of one-half olive oil and one-half vegetable oil. Cap the jar and let sit 1 month. Shake now and then during the curing process.
  3. You can add more oil as you use up the sauce. Store, covered, at room temperature.
  4. Comments: We must begin our Portuguese cooking with this hot, oil sauce.
  5. I have made this sauce with several other different kinds of peppers and the strength varies. This sauce is worth the pepper hunt.
