Hot 'Peppe' is a mix of heat and fragrance. The people of West Africa do hot pepper and they do it unapologetically. We love our food spicy with hot 'peppe' (most chilis and peppers are referred to as 'peppe'). Even in the tropical heat, food must come with hot spice to evoke sweat that cools the body down. There's a science to this! From bright red stews, to soups, to rice, to grill mixes, very few dishes are made without chilis in varying degrees of intensity. The base of many recipes in West African cooking consists of chillies, onions, garlic and oftentimes a variety of chilies are mixed together to not only bring heat, but a variety of flavor to a dish. This seasoning mix brings more than heat. It brings a sweet, bright, fragrant, smokey flavor to every dish it graces.
