Dear CH'ers,

                 PIRI PIRI

                 Every cuisine has its hot sauce, and the West Indian
version is
                 called piri piri. Here's how you make it. Take two red
chili
                 peppers, and combine them with 1 cup olive oil, the
zest of one
                 lemon, and one bay leaf in a jar with a tight-fitting
lid. Leave it in
                 a warm spot for two or three weeks. The longer you keep
the
                 piri piri, the hotter it will get, so bear that in
mind. A few drops
                 will enhance almost all Caribbean dishes, especially
fish dishes.
