How To Make Peri-Peri Sauce At Home?

First, preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and place the chopped red chillies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Now, take them out of the oven and let them cool down. Combine the roasted chillies, garlic, ginger, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor, and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides of the blender as needed. Take a little in a spoon and taste to adjust the seasoning as needed. (If the sauce is too thick, add a little water. If it's too thin, add a little more olive oil. If it's not spicy enough, add more chillies!). Then, pour the Peri Peri sauce into an airtight container. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze the sauce for up to three months. Simply thaw the sauce in the fridge or at room temperature when you're ready to use it.
