Categories: Brazilian, Salads
Yield: 6 Servings

2 Malagueta peppers;
- drained & finely chopped *
1/2 c Onion; finely chopped
1 1/2 ts Garlic; minced
1/4 c Lemon juice
2 ts Olive oil

1/2 c Red bell pepper;

Combine the malagueta peppers in a food processor or blender and
process them until the mixture is a thick paste.

Gradually add half of the chopped onion and garlic and continue to
process, scraping the sides of the container to blend all ingredients
into the paste. Add the lemon juice and process again to mix.

Transfer the sauce to a glass bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and
allow the mixture to stand for 30 minutes.

In a large heavy skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the
remaining onion and minced garlic. Saute for 2 minutes, add the
chayote or summer squash, and continue to saute, stirring
occasionally for about 5 minutes.

Add the red and green peppers and allow to cook for another 5
minutes. Add the black pepper and remove the pan from the heat.

Place the sauteed vegetables in the refrigerator and chill for 2
hours.

When ready to serve, arrange the vegetables on a large platter and
drizzle with a small amount of sauce. Sprinkle with the chopped
tomato for added color. Add black pepper as desired.

* Malagueta peppers are a pickled hot pepper used in traditional
Brazilian cooking. They can be found in some Latin American markets.
