    a dish of an orange colored sauce made with spicy habaneros

    African Cameroon pepper sauce is made with the very hot habanero or Scotch bonnet chili pepper. The combination of ingredients in this sauce makes for a wonderful combination of flavors. Yes it is spicy and can be toned down with some mayonnaise to adjust for the desired heat affect.

    It is absolutely delicious with Suya the Cameroonian street food, a spicy beef on a stick. It would also make a wonderful sandwich spread. Enjoy!
