Hot Pepper Sauce – A Trinidadian Staple

Description

Trinidadians LOVE their ‘peppa’ sauce, and this one is full of flavour and heat! Sooooo easy to make — no cooking, just your blender to create this taste of the islands. Try using different peppers to vary the flavour and heat. Use over meats, in sandwiches and stews. Trinis use it in anything savoury!
