Fresh Meko (chilli sauce) is a Ghanaian basic sauce that is served with meals like kenkey, fried yam, banku, rice, etc. We love the touch of instant heat it adds to our meals. Fresh meko is however, not long lasting hence we have various versions of chilli sauces which have a longer shelf life. I have a number of ways I make chilli sauces and they’re all so great. So here’s another version of my bell pepper chilli sauce. It’s great as a condiment and a marinade for fish, chicken and meat.
