This bell peppers puree, or paprika paste, is a typical cooking rub of the Portuguese culinary tradition. It is spread on top of pork meat before cooking, or added as a simmer sauce on special courses. The taste is typical of Southern Portugal, and it gives a very nice red colour to white meat.
A typical hot sauce from Portugal, not very hot by international standards. Portuguese chillies are blended with bell peppers, giving a very specific flavour, a little sweet and smoky.
