Notes
INGREDIENTS
- I use Grove avocado oil in this recipe. Olive oil is also a good healthy choice.
- Fire roasted red capsicum can be purchased jarred/canned at the supermarket. Alternatively, roast over a gas flame, grill or in the oven until the skin is blackened and charred. Sweat the capsicum in a bag then peel and discard skin and the seeds.
- Any of your favourite chillies can be used. Increase up to 4 chillies if preferred or add higher Scoville chillies for a more intense chilli flavour. If you do not like spicy food, then you can also omit them altogether. You could also add a teaspoon of Peri Peri Seasoning to add more flavour to the sauce.
- The sour cream, coconut cream or yoghurt is best added if using the sauce as a dressing or dipping sauce. If you are going to marinate something then remove the quantity of marinade you will require and add a small amount of cream, if preferred for a creamy sauce to serve.
- This keto peri peri sauce can be used for a marinade for any protein or vegetables. Add the cream for a tasty dressing or dipping sauce option.
- Store in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- The peri peri sauce is suited to freezing.
- Freeze in a silicone ice cube tray then transfer to a ziplock bag.
- Can be added to a sauce from frozen.
- Nutrition has been calculated without the cream.
- Makes about half a cup.
