Portuguese hot red pepper sauce (pimenta moida) is used throughout Portugal, although it is most typically seen in the Azores. It's a great marinade for meats and other things as it adds flavor and some heat.

The authentic pimenta moida also has minced garlic added. I am from the Acores and we do not cook the pimenta but we add lots of salt and let it sit for a few days with only the salt and garlic. We then jar it.
