  1. I made a batch of this per the recipe to make a Portuguese Red Pepper rub for a Portugese chicken recipe I made. It worked well giving the chicken a lot of flavor. It was a winner so I rated it a 5/5. Per the other reviews I noted there were concerns because it wasn’t authentic and it was rated & reviewed without making it. So I’m not sure if that fairly reflects its success or not but it worked well for me. I’ll make it again as needed because my chicken recipe turned out great!
     
  2. I agree with Andrea. Real Pimenta Moida is not cooked. Also kinda laughable to see such a small amount since my family grew and canned our own peppahs.
     
  3. This is not the recipe for Portuguese spicy pepper sauce. The authentic recipe is fresh hot peppers, salt and that is it! This is a poor attempt. You should change the name , this recipe in no way resembles the real thing. I would give is less than a star if possible.
