Pepper Sauce (pebre)
Pebre is a traditional South American pepper sauce, commonly found in Chilean cuisine, made with fresh cilantro, onions, and red pepper paste. This vibrant and zesty condiment is perfect for serving over bread, potatoes, or your favorite savory dishes. A quick rinse of the onions helps neutralize their bite, allowing the bright flavors of lime and cilantro to shine.

Method
- Cube the onion into small pieces. Add sugar, salt, or hot water and rinse; this is to neutralize the flavor of the onion (a common technique in Caribbean and Latin American cooking).
- Chop the cilantro and mix with the onion.
- Add the hot pepper paste, minced garlic, olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, water, and salt to taste.
- Mix well and let stand to allow the flavors to meld.
- Serve on your favorite dishes.
Notes:
Tip: Rinsing the cubed onions with sugar, salt, or hot water is a great technique to neutralize their strong, pungent flavor before mixing them into the sauce.
