Piri Piri Hot Sauce Recipe - Step by Step!

[@ihartphoto]

You leaving out the lemon juice is similar to what my grandmother did when someone asked for a recipe. You could take 4 people who asked for the recipe and each of them had a slightly different recipe because grandma would always leave one item off each recipe. When she passed we wanted to put together a book of her recipes and we asked all family that had any of her recipes to take a picture and send them in, which is when we found out what Grandma did. While annoying at first, we put together a cookbook with all the ingredients on all the individual recipes and over time people would email saying they used X amount of cumin and XX amount of salt and they would be added to the PDF updates of the cookbook. In a way it brought us closer together. Thanks for the memories Shaun!

Your channel has quickly become one of my most watched! I have very recently taken up growing chilis and shortly thereafter started loving growing chilis. Your channel has been invaluable to me and my learning experience and I can't thank you enough. Wonderful content Shaun, I just wish I'd found you sooner! Thanks upon thanks.

[@ChilliChump]

That is great to hear Travis, I'm really glad you are enjoying my channel! Thank you for watching. It's a wonderful and fulfilling passion to have!

[@neilpalmer7279]

Awesome video Shaun great to see you back in the kitchen again.

[@lastwordonejoke1125]

I collected cranberries from the swamp and made a cranberry sweet and sour sauce with chocolate habaneros and bhut jolokia. Added rosemary, lemongrass, cinnamon, orange cedra and ginger. Very tasty and smells like christmas.

[@thomasfowles7366]

G'day mate, my chille season has just started, my first fermentation is under way, and last year's chille sauce won 1st in class at the Royal Adelaide Show thanks to your ideas, love your work, cheers from the other SA!!

Howzit Shaun! I'm a Zimbo in Cape Town and I've been a MASSIVE fan for the past 5 years!! All of my superhot growing success is due to your great advice! Thank you so much. One thing though... chisa is Ndebele or Zulu for hot... pisa is Shona for hot. I hope you don't mind the small correction! Thank you again for all your great work!

[@ChilliChump]

Hey Terry! Thank you for watching and congrats on your superhots success. Glad I could play a part in that! And thanks for the correction....it's been a long time since I left Zim!

[@ChilliChump]

I have made the correction in the description

[@bowtielife]

Okay, I have been saving this recipe for 10 months now... I have even looked at it a few times in the meantime. I am so excited to have enough of everything from my garden to try this out! I am quite excited!! Mrs. Bowtie got the idea of using it with Chicken from this video... That will be exciting, too!

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

As a condiment and hot sauce connoisseur, I’m stoked to have found this channel. Just heard about piri piri and will be trying to make some very soon! New sub here keep up the good work from Florida!

I had Piri Piri from a Brazilian food truck at a California brewery last week. It was delicious.

[@stephenlittle7534]

Hi I am doing a milder one at the moment that is loads of different types of tomatoes but with a few chillies yummy.

[@minicoop.]

Making my Friday that much better!! Love your content and LOVE piri piri sauce. So excited to watch this

[@luisrodrigues4698]

Portuguese, not Spanish, brought the "Malagueta" pepper from South America to Africa. Piri-piri is still the most common hot sauce (normally homemade, even in restaurants), in Portugal. Not Spain.

[@ChilliChump]

Hi Luis, did you have a look at the video I linked when I mentioned that? Gives some more info about why I said this. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKO4fpeiha6ph6c

[@LeighWinspear]

Going to use this exact recipe soon as I have enough ripe chillis. All going to be fresh and it looks like eventually, the Naga Morich are reddening up nicely too. I will make 2 batches, one medium hot and one including my Jamaican rosso and Naga. I have made my own smoked salt, simply done after a bbq/braai using the leftover heat with a piece of applewood. So in addition to your mums excellent recipe with your own lemony tweaks, It should be smokey smelling deliciousness too. I might try actually smoke infusing some chillies on my next bbq also. Variety is indeed, the spice of life.................;)

[@simplifygardening]

Great looking sauce mate and hot bottling really ensures to create that seal for long storage. brill video

[@wranther]

Fine looking sauce there Shaun! Good play by play instructions for making a chunkier style of sauce. Was out picking some 7 Pot Chocolate earlier this morning, looking around the pepper patch, and thinking this could be a day to start a nice habaracha sauce of some sort. Stay Spicy! -Bob...

[@krisbrown9064]

I love your seeds... ive been saving Oodles of them and growing them the same. They produce Soooo much. I'm very happy. Thank you chili Chump (Shawn)

[@ChilliChump]

My pleasure! I'm glad you are enjoying them. A lot of love, time and effort went into developing them! It would be great if you could leave a review for them on my site, helps me out! Https://chillichumpseeds.com

[@ChefaBrown]

I just want to thank you for this recipe, it's very similar to a recipe I have been trying to figure out for years now, with a bit of tweaking on my Chili's I think I will be set

[@ChilliChump]

My pleasure. I'm glad it's helped you out!

[@bigbird2451]

I loved the bit of sweat on the brow at the end. How authentic can you get? Well done Sir!

[@cali..]

I am gonna make this today, I like that it is easy to follow and although I do not grow chillis, I will be able to buy all the ingredients at my local which helps. Thanks for the video Shaun! >>Edit: Made the sauce, was really good, added 100grams of red chillis and 60grams of Piri Piri, plus sweet pointed peppers for bulk, after reducing down to the right consistency, found the white wine vinegar a tad strong so added 2 tsp of sugar and then it was good. Just used it for chicken marinade and its amazing! Gonna add some mango in next time and might lower the heat index. Great sauce overall!

[@willk7184]

Looks awesome, and well-explained. Nice video buddy.

[@bangerra]

Just based a sauce off this with bell peppers, and 50/50 cayenne/chinese 5 color. Tastes Amazing! Thanks for the recipe.

[@KellyWoodroffe]

Yes Mummy Chillichump! This sounds great

[@dadovitchnic]

Thanks Shaun, I have several different birds-eye chili's growing this year, Some habaneros and rocotos for the heat, can't wait to try this sauce!

amazing reciepe ! will cook for winter couple of jars 👌

[@mattraino3274]

This is the sauce I want to make- I was able to grow some Carolina Reapers and make a sauce that was just way too hot. Most of the fermented hot sauces I make are with red Fresno jalapeño with onion and a few cardamom pods- fantastic. I would never have thought to add cardamom if not for CC. Thank you sir!

[@000phill000]

I love Sous Vide cooking and watching this where you said about stirring and heat and how you don't want the chilli to burn. This could be a great way to make chilli sauce from fresh ingredients. With Sous Vide you can cook at lower temperature over a longer time to reach pasteurisation.

[@nitramdmij]

Yay! A hot sauce video! That looks really good!

[@ChilliChump]

Gotta grow them before I can make sauce with them 😉

[@PIPSGuy]

Great step.... Going to try it this weekend XD

[@JamesSpeiser]

Hey CC! I got ahold of a jar of Nando's peri peri ... it's great...so different than anything else I've had in the US. I just put in on my black beans and bam. Thanks for your influence

[@ChilliChump]

My pleasure! It's a pretty tasty one, and worth it if you can get it for a decent price!

[@Craxin01]

I recently bought a container of Starsan and was amazed by how concentrated that stuff really is. I used fairly big spray bottle and had to use half my smallest measuring spoon for that whole bottle! P.S. Love it when you taste one of your sauces and watch the sweat bead up on your forehead. I'm not that brave, I prefer the milder end of the heat spectrum, maybe leaning medium.

[@ChilliChump]

I mix up a big batch of the Starsan, it's easier to get the measurements right! But at least with it being highly concentrated, it goes a long way!

[@kevinbane3588]

I have a variety called Durban’s Birds Eye from African. Simply amazing flavor!

Your channel is the highlight of my year, absolutely loving and learning from your channel. Just got my first bubblers in the mail, going to try sauerkraut but I have 3 kilos of Tabasco peppers. I am from Texas and love my Tabasco sauce. how can I ferment from frozen without more fresh? any other vegetables I can sub into it to get my lacto?

[@ChilliChump]

Hey Alec, that is very kind of you to say! Thank you for watching. With regards to your question, how about making some sauerkraut, then using some of the brine liquid that is created to kick off your frozen ferment. heres a video of mine showing how to make it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2qvnIOvmtyYp6s

[@fredmidtgaard5487]

Here in East Africa, we say Piri Piri with an "i" sound, not "e" in the beginning. However, Indians say Peri Peri like you do for some reason. We have Birds eye Piri Piri here but they are tiny (like a pinky finger nail) and super super hot. We eat more of a variety called Mbuzi piri piri (Goat Piri Piri) which is hot, but eatable and good with roasted Goat meat. Other kinds are rare here. Will try your recipe but modified to suit what we have in Africa.

[@chrissaltmarsh6777]

I'm growing chili now. Just indoors, in the window. They can look pretty, so why not. I shall take your advice, except for the greenhouse bit.

[@fallstar7013]

[@edwardhammock24]

So pleased to see this, it looks really simple and usable. I've got a lot of Ring of Fire, I guess that I could use those as the base chilli? Love the photos of 'home' at the end credits BTW.

[@linaso9739]

Thank you for the recipe! I will definitely make it, have Piri Piri and superhots in a freezer. I've still got lots of fermented sauces from last year, this sauce will stand out. I hope it will taste well on fish since it's not fermented.

[@ChilliChump]

This tastes great on fish!

[@fernandoribeiro3309]

Portugueses piri piri is the beast 😮

[@hanneler3716]

Seems nice, maybe I'll try to grow piri piri next season and try this. The shop bought piri piri sauces (and pre-marinated piri piri chicken) have all tasted one dimensional and bitter. Just medium hotness with no other flavor than bitterness.

[@qaaronpeasron8996]

I wish I could follow your recipes more closely. The pepper selection at the grocery store is seasonal plus pablanos jalapenos and habaneros. Right now they have red fresno peppers, and im brining some in a vacuum seal bag to make some sort of sauce that I hope will resemble buffalo sauce.

[@GrowingwithJ4]

Looks wonderful

[@gavinvd1]

Family recipe, my Wife has been making the same for the last 25 years :)

[@edwardhammock24]

A simple easy recipe. It does separate out but that's expected with no mag stirring emulsion. I did find that there was LOADS of oil left. I couldn't get it to reduce down any more and no where near the thick sauce Shaun had. I'd probably put half the oil in next time. A good start for my first sauce.

[@ChilliChump]

Hey Edward, send me a message on FB or IG, let me know the amounts you used. Also send a pic if you can!

[@sparkymark68]

Lovely recipe. I added a little bit of oregano and it sang!

[@jasonaliff4145]

I have some TAI peppers I'm going to try this with. I'm probably going to throw a few SRP's, sweet peppers, and use ghost for the heat as I also love the taste of ghost.

The ghost is a great chilli! Good amount of heat yet still flavourful

Hey brother, was wandering if you have ever worked with Manzano Chili's? I have watched a ton of your videos. I don't think I have seen them on your channel. I believe they would make a great tasting chili sauce. I grow a few each year, and maybe I'll give the sauce a go this gardening season. Thanks for the amazing content it's a real pleasure to watch and very interesting!

Hey Shaun thanks so much for posting this great recipe - reminds me a lot of the peri peri sauce my Gran would make our family as a kid growing up in Zim. I've got some great Black Mamas from your seed kit this year so glad I can use a couple on this. Do you think the birds eye babies from the seed kit would work in this as well and would Anaheims and Spanish giants be good for bulking it up (just asking as I have loads of these as well). Would be cool if you could do a short video on what to do with the sugar rush stripeys and bishop crowns from the kit as well - as I have loads of them too this year!

[@ChilliChump]

Hey Chris, my pleasure! The birds eye baby's will work well....they may just be a little more of a pain to harvest though due to their size!

[@DyesubDave]

Looks FANTASTIC! One day I'll have some Piri Piri peppers to try this myself. I'm a bit surprised that there aren't any onions in this recipe. One thing that I do for almost all of my sauce / salsa recipies is to roast approx. half of the veggies and some of the garlic. Seems to add levels to the flavour profile IMO. And I absolutely LOVE your greenhouse. Your plants look so healthy and abundant. Do you end up selling some of the extra peppers locally? Thanks for sharing your recipe!! 🌶😎

[@cumxum]

do you saute the onions? also guess you don't roast the chillies right?

[@jessejacobs]

I was surprised when I heard the word "Chiesa" lol, I really didnt know you were from Southy lol

[@mtca14]

Piri-piri was brought by the Portuguese from African colonies. Don't forget that those who discovered the sea route to India were the Portuguese, where there was a huge trade in spices between African, Asian and European countries.

[@kylekoenig4730]

Try putting the lemon juice in after the cooking instead of during the cooking, and you’ll get an even more lemony flavor if you want a bit of a change!

[@RobertBrown-yn9tx]

Noob with a quick question... Just a quick question.. I'm new at fermenting chillies and noticed that Starsan is often used for sanitizing things. Also, freshly picked chillies are frequently rinsed with tap water. The question ==> Does the use of Starsan and chlorinated water (or chloramines) have any effect on lactobacillus (sp?) and the fermentation? My experience has been in the craft beer arena (mostly ales) so am somewhat familiar with fermentation... I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma so humidity and heat are the norm in the Summer. Most chillies grow like weeds where I'm at..

[@ChilliChump]

Rinsing off the dirt from the chillies with tap water won't kill off all the lactobacillus. So you will be fine.

[@denniscarlsen9875]

Just had to jump in to defend extra virgin olive oil. It completely good to use and withstands heating up to 200C. Healthier also, other than avocado oil perhaps. Just some old misconceptions about it die hard..

[@klaus1805]

Not a neutral oil, so definitely will add taste though. That might be unwanted for this sauce
