PORTUGUESE SWEET RED PEPPER PASTE (MASSA DE PIMENTãO)
Entered for safe-keeping, when I want the authentic version of this important and frequently used ingredient in Portuguese dishes: I admit that I am more likely to buy this than make this. This came from Ana Patuleia Ortins' "Portuguese Homestyle Cooking". This takes about 4-5 days, and the 2 cups will keep several months in the refrigerator when stored as directed, as the salt acts as a preservative. DO NOT ADD GARLIC to this preserved paste, but instead use fresh garlic recipes that call for pepper paste. Sterilized baby-food jars may also be used.

Steps:
- Set a colander inside a large noncorrosive pan or dish with sides. (You may also use a wooden produce crate with narrow spaces between the slats found at a local produce market as a colander; you would be half-way to Portugal in your mind, at least.).
- Pour a 1-inch layer of salt into the colander to form the base. Some salt will seep out.).
- Place a layer of peppers, skin side up, on the salt, pressing the peppers into the salt. UNCURL EVEN THE SMALLEST PART OF THE PEPPER, otherwise mold will form.
- Cover with a 1/2-inch layer of salt and the remaining peppers, ending with another 1/2-inch layer of salt. Place a heavy dish or bowl on top to weight it down.
- Let stand for up to 5 days to allow the moisture to drain from the peppers. After the fourth day, the peppers should be thinner, about 1/4-inch or less. The salt will be damp and the amount of liquid draining will be barely a trickle.
- Shake off the excess salt and process the peppers briefly with either a hand-cranked grinder, food processor, or blender. The texture will not be smooth -- more like coarsely ground tomatoes.
- Fill the sterilized jars, leaving about an inch at the top. Pour olive oil over the top to a depth of 1/2 inch. Close the jar tightly and refrigerate.
- To use massa de pimentão, simply push aside the congealed olive oil with a spoon, remove what you need, replacing the oil and adding more, if necessary. Use sparingly.

PORTUGUESE HOT PEPPER PASTE (MASSA DE MALAGUETA)
Entered for safe-keeping, when I want to cook authentic Portuguese recipes. It differs from Recipe #460610 in that water is not drained off and the seeds are retained to ensure the fire of the chili peppers. Malagueta peppers are longer (riper) than piri piri peppers; they are also known as hot red finger peppers. These peppers keep for at least 6 months, if refrigerated. Per Ana Patuleia Ortins in "Portuguese Homestyle Cooking", some versions of this recipe add a touch of lemon juice or vinegar and garlic, but this simple paste adds heat to a dish while allowing you to add lemon or garlic to your taste, depending on the dish. Use either 2 8-ounce jars or 4 4-ounce jars, sterilized for canning/preserving. When adding to a recipe, remember that this is high in salt, so taste the dish before adding any additional salt.

Steps:
- Remove and discard the green caps and stems of the peppers but do not discard the seeds. Finely chop the peppers either by hand, or in a grinder or food processor. Transfer the chopped peppers to a medium bowl. Stir in the salt (and vinegar, if using), mixing thoroughly.
- Let the mixture stand in this bowl (covered) for 8 days in the refrigerator, giving the mixture a few turns every day.
- On the eighth day, pack the mixture into a sterlized jar, top it off with 1/2-inch of olive oil and refrigerate.
