Note

This sauce yields approximately 1/2 cup.

For a milder heat level, remove the seeds and membranes from the Malagueta peppers before processing.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. The flavors will intensify slightly over time.

Use gloves when handling Malagueta peppers to avoid skin irritation from the capsaicin.
