PORTUGUESE VINEGAR SAUCE W/ HOT PEPPER PASTE FOR FISH (MOLHANGA)



Portuguese Vinegar Sauce W/ Hot Pepper Paste for Fish (Molhanga) image

Entered for safe-keeping, this is a very tangy sauce for fish, packing heat, provided by Ana Patuleia Ortins in "Portuguese Homestyle Cooking". It uses Recipe #460621 #460621 as an ingredient. The use of whole cumin seed is traditional when making molhanga, but if unavailable, use cumin powder. Note that those who are allergic to ragweed may be severely allergic to safflower as well. Edited 7/06/12 to add smoked paprika as an option.
