Piri-piri Sauce

1 1/4 c Olive oil
8 Chilli peppers with tops removed
1 Bay leaf
1 Small piece lemon rind

Pour the oil into a small, screw-top jar and add the chilli peppers, bay leaf and lemon rind. Screw on the top and shake. Leave to stand in a warm place for at least 24 hours before use. It will keep at room temperature indefinitely.
Ready made piri-piri can be bought by the portuguese, who use it a good deal as a spicy condiment on pasta, fish or meat and also to flavour stews.
