My family and I love Kambuzi chillies, the African bird eye chilli which was brought to Africa by some Portuguese. That's the reason why this sauce is also called the African peri peri sauce or the Portuguese hot chilli sauce. This variety of chillies have a very distinct flavour and they are extremely hot.
There is a brand name called Marie's that produces Kambuzi sauce in Malawi. This sauce is our favourite. Apart from that, there is a lady who makes this sauce to sell. Her sauce is also very yummy. So here I give you both the methods. Method 1 is created by looking at the ingredient list on Marie's bottle where as method 2 is given by the lady herself! Both the types met my expectations lookwise as well as tastewize! 😊

- 1
Method 1 (Marie's Kambuzi sauce) :wash the chilies and remove the stems. Simply combine all the ingredients for method 1 in a blender and blend it coarsely. Some people prefer to add fresh basil leaves in the sauce. But I feel that the basil overpowers/manipulates the flavor of Kambuzi, so I do not add that ingredient. I am in love with Kambuzi flavor so much that I can't compromise with it.
- 2
Remove any unblended garlic. Heat up the regular cooking oil till the smoking point. Take out the ground sauce in a bowl. Pour the smoking hot oil over it all around. Mix well and let the mixture cool down to room temperature.
- 3
Fill it in a bottle.
- 4
Method 2 (Nafeesa's method): combine all the ingredients for method 2 in a blender. Blend till no pieces of onions are left unblended.
- 5
Take oil in a thick bottom pan. Heat it a little (just as much as can sizzle a bit upon adding the sauce.). Add the sauce in it and fry till the oil oozes/floats. Do not fry beyond this point otherwise the sauce will lose its flavor.
- 6
Both the types of sauce taste equally yummy. However, the second method is more preferred because. 1. the cooked chillies are less likely to give you acidity. 2. It also helps the sauce last longer (probably) 3. It gives vibrant color to our sauce.
- 7
Reason for adding paprika powder (mild chili powder) : this ingredient is purely to add a pleasant color to our sauce. The presence of lemon and vinegar makes the sauce look very pale after grinding. But we definitely not want to add the spicy variety or add too much of chilli powder and overpower the flavor of Kambuzi.

Absolutely Tender Poached Chicken With 2 Kinds of Sauce
If you just poach the chicken directly in boiling water it dries out. Making "chicken ham" takes too much time, so I thought up this method.The key point is to put the chicken into slightly cooled down hot water, not boiling hot water. The temperature is around 80°C. Use a heavy pan to prevent the water from cooling down too much. If you are cooking a piece of chicken that weighs more than 250 g, increase the time in Step 5. For 1 chicken breast.

Bunny's Husband's Elegant Tomato Sauce
I love Italian food. This is a recipe passed down from Bunny's husband's family. It's a convenient sauce that can be used deliciously with pasta, hamburg steak, gratin, omurice, curry, etc. This can be frozen and stored, but even though I always make a lot, it all just gets eaten up.In Step 1, since you're not mincing anything, it can be done on top of a paper towel.In Step 2, be sure not to burn the garlic. Let it cook on low heat.In Step 3, I crushed the tomatoes and dropped them directly in the pot, but hot oil may splatter, so be careful.We love this recipe because it doesn't make a lot of dirty dishes.

Greek Souvlaki ＆ Tzatziki Sauce
This is my version of a recipe I saw on a cooking show in Canada. The word for "eatery" in Greek is "taverna." This sounds like "taberuna," in Japanese, which means "don't eat," so, it's an eating establishment where you can't eat? There are lots of "taverna" in Vancouver and they are very popular.Tzatziki is a versatile sauce that can be used for both meat and salad. Put chicken and salad topped with tzatziki in pita bread for a pita sandwich. I'm in love with this sauce. Recipe by LazyHata

Portuguese steaks in the sauce
Ah, Portuguese cuisine, is a perfect marriage of rich flavors and intense tastes. Steaks in Portuguese sauce are an excellent example - a delicious combination of tender meat, aromatic sauce, and subtle notes of port wine.The recipe begins by pounding the steaks, then letting the meat is seared quickly in a hot pan, before being removed and set aside to rest with salt.The sauce is then prepared by adding garlic, bay leaves, paprika, and pepper to the same pan. Once the garlic is golden brown, the spirits are added to deglaze, then the sauce is reduced until it is thick and flavorful.Finally, the steaks are returned to the pan with the sauce and reheated together to soak up the sauce's flavor. Served with a slice of dry-cured ham, this dish can be accompanied by rice, french fries, or even homemade chips for a tasty and satisfying meal.So if you're looking for a recipe that combines tender meat, rich flavors, and subtle notes of port wine, Portuguese steaks in the sauce are for you. Follow the steps below for a delicious and easy-to-prepare meal.

Easy! Sole Meunière with Refreshing Lemon Sauce
I saw someone prepare some whitefish with a lemon sauce on TV. I got rid of the sweetness of that sauce to make this simple variation.Covering the sole with a lot of flour will make them crispier when fried. It will also help the sauce stay coated on the fish.The tartness of this sauce is quite strong. If you don't like that, you can try to use 2 tablespoons of lemon juice instead. Recipe by Kazu kitchen

I used half and half since I didn’t have heavy cream, but it still is very good!

I like the fact that chicken breasts are high in protein and healthy, so I use it in many kinds of dishes.It's good freshly made and hot or cold.This dish looks quite luxurious so I originally intended as a dish to serve to guests, but I also make it a lot for everyday dinners, in bentos, and sandwiches.There will be a lot of sauce, so try using it on salad or warm vegetables served with the chicken.If you add grated garlic to the sauce, it will become even more tasty and Italian. So if you like garlic, try with it. Recipe by Tomomikicchin

A very easy and quick recipe with ingredients you might already have in your fridge or pantry. Mushrooms, known as 'Cibus deorum' or 'food of the gods', were named so by Emperor Nero. It's certain that their aroma and unparalleled taste have captivated people since ancient times. They are an ideal accompaniment to many dishes, both with meat and in salads, as they add their aroma and refine pasta and risotto. I have the impression that mushrooms love foodies, and foodies love mushrooms! I think with this recipe, you'll become one of them. A dish full of aroma and character. You'll think you're eating meat. The mustard sauce with wine and thyme is the perfect combination. Ideal for fasting periods and beyond!
