Abba’s African Hot Sauce
A fiery, flavorful African-style hot sauce—blend peppers, spices, and aromatics, then simmer until rich and bold. Perfect with eggs, tacos, or spicy greens.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup filtered water or stock
- 8 to 10 assorted hot peppers (such as serrano or jalapeño, about ½ cup total, or adjust the hot pepper formula to taste; use habaneros sparingly, as they are far hotter than jalapeños) (chopped)
- 1 medium green bell pepper (diced (about ¾ cup))
- 1½ teaspoons minced garlic
- ¼ cup tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, preferably raw
- 1 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne powder

More about Abba’s African Hot Sauce
If you want to make a milder sauce, increase the amount of green bell pepper in proportion to the amount of hot peppers suggested—or, if you’d like to bump up the heat, add one or two habanero peppers. This sauce is really tasty and versatile; it would be just as perfectly delicious with scrambled eggs or beef tacos as it is with the African vegetable dish, Mother Africa’s Spicy Kale and Yam, which can be found elsewhere on this website.
