A certain seafood restaurant chain recently served this with their calamari, and at home I recreated it. It's great with all meats and seafood. Mine wasn't even hot enough, surprise, surprise! It will all depend on the type of hot peppers you use. It's a tiny amount, made fresh, and will benefit from being made ahead, covered, and left at room temperature until needed. Ingredients can be tweaked to your taste. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon hot pepper, no seeds, very finely chopped (i used green and red cayenne peppers from my own garden) |
1 tablespoon virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon lime juice, freshly squeezed |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1 teaspoon garlic, fresh, very finely chopped |
1/4 teaspoon salt (or more, do not leave out) |
Directions:
1. Prepare all ingredients.
2. Mix well in a glass bowl, and leave to stand for 1 hour to a day.
3. Decant into a tiny glass or porcelain dish.
4. Serve with grilled (or other) meats.
