Instructions: Malagueta Sauces (Brazilian pepper sauces): Here are four sauces from the Brazilian cuisine based on the malagueta pepper. My reference (apart from Vermont and Tokyo).

See notes in recipe "MOLHO DE ACARAJE (ACARAJE SAUCE)".

MOLHO DE NAGO (NAGO SAUCE): Served with "cozidos", or stews. (The Nago were an African tribe from the Yoruba region, taken to Brazil as slaves)

Pound first 3 ingredients or blend, then add lemon juice and okra. Usually served with a Brazilian stew and can be diluted with some of the broth from the stew. Sometimes a small amount of jilo, a small bitter eggplant, is also used in this recipe.
