Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 red onions (peeled and roughly chopped)
  • 1 head of garlic (cloves peeled and roughly chopped)
  • 1 cup African bird's eye chillies (stems removed)
  • 2 red bell peppers (seeds removed and roughly chopped)
  • 3 ripe tomatoes (skins removed and roughly chopped)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • juice and zest of 3 lemons
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika

Instruction

  • Combine all the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor/blender and mix until all the ingredients are finely chopped and the mixture is quite saucy.
  • Transfer to a saucepan over medium heat and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes to prevent the sauce from burning.
  • After 20 minutes, check the seasoning and adjust. The sauce should be well balanced with a good kick of spice and sourness from the lemon and vinegar.
  • Pour into jars/bottles and keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
