Miss Winn, you’ve helped me learn how to cook from my freshman year of college till today , thank you so much! You deserve all the goodness that comes your way!
This is the recipe I've been looking for ! Thank you! I stayed two weeks in Liberia at a Guest House close to the American Embassy, and we had this lady chef called Mama Jeryl...She fed us SO goooooD!
I'm Nigerian and I'm back home, but I still remember thr taste of the pepper sauce and Corn Bread I had IN Liberia . Mama Jeryl had made me a jar of pepper sauce to take home with me and told me how to make some,but now my stash is all gone and I forgot the recipe. I saw many videos of Liberian Pepper Sauce online, but this one comes the closest to what that sweet lady taught me. Thank you so much!
Im trying this ASAP. New subscription!
Thank you sis! I’m Nigerian but I love Liberian food 🤎🤎🇱🇷
I was born and raised in Liberia and we always had a can opener 😊
🤣😂😂
I'm American n my family used a knife also to open cans so not all America use can openers.
We also used a knife to open cans 🤷🏾♀️...
We cook with recipe honey but we don’t do physical measurement. We do eye measurements lol
Dorothda Kollie i understand exactly what you mean, but people do be asking for physical recipe that’s why i said we don’t cook with recipe.
@B BLESSED Blessed Hahahaha
That part
She is young what does she no. I'm sure her recipe is good but do not insult people while u cook especially when u have no idea what ur talking about.
im a born african american and i have been opening my cans like that for years even if i have a can opener..much faster for me. to let you know majority of americans season food to taste and by eye. reason for measurements is for health reasons and those trying to maintain a healthy weight also..but i love how you open that can sis!!lol😊
Come on guys I'm sure she meant it as a joke for us back home. Y'all don't have to take it serious....good video Win
Thanks 🙏
If you want your pepper sauce without too much heat/hotness , you can mix your habanero pepper with bell pepper to reduce the heat. I like mine really hot that's why I used only habanero pepper.
Cooking with Winn I mixed with sweet peppers 🌶🤗
Sweetest Simone Baby nice!
Hii dear I have been working in Liberia long time back I use to eat fish rice they use to put red oil and pepe will u please tell me how to make thanks
Based on the description you’re giving me I’m trying to figure out what food it is but i can’t remember. So I’m thinking maybe it’s dry rice with red oil and fish with pepper?
@@CookingwithWinn Maybe is Red Oil stew with fish (Smoked or Fresh)
Mexican here! This salsa looks even spicier than our mexican ones 🥵
It is
I'm so glad i found your channel. You explain things so easily and easy to understand. 🙏
I'm in love with those colors!
FYI: a good can-opener is cheaper than a good knife...🙂. Looks like a gorgeous sauce! I love that you fry the ingredients. It's almost like a curry.
Was about to say that. I value my fingers and my knives enough not to do that.
Thanks for the great work and I was thinking about making some but I didn't know where to start. Again let the good Lord be with us all.
Yes!! Use those senses oh!! I love this!
thanks.
Made tonight. It’s amazing.
Nice!
Thanks Sista ‼️ I made it & it was so good
Looks delicious ❤❤❤ thanks for sharing 😊
You welcome 🙏
This brought back memories to when I went to Monrovia! The food I ate there melted my heart!!!
Definitely gonna try this at home. How long does it last if you make a lot of it? Can you keep it in the fridge for a long time?
Yes you can keep it in the fridge. It should last you a month or 2 depending on how much u make and how often you eat it.
Thank you for an Amazing Video, I really needed this bc I couldn’t buy the Liberian pepper sauce in a jar, I think it’s called Koto. Anyways thank you very much for teaching a black girl in Virginia, how to cook this. I love African Cuisine and I have only tasted Ghana, Kenya and Nigerian,Liberian food so far… I have some ways to go.. I would to try South African food ❤ anyways Winn you are amazing and be grateful you in live in Africa. I wish all my people could come back, were so lost and mistreated here. I’m not complaining bc some of it is our fault. Anyways, thanks Love
I love ur energy.I’m not even cooking just watching bc I like u lol
You've got a new sub! I enjoyed everyone of your cooking. Growing up in Liberia having a cook, I must say I really didnt know how to cook most dishes but with your detailed demonstration I'm proud and confident enough to make some of my favorite dishes. Thank u sis!😘
Thanks darling and I’m glad I can be a help🙏
Food looks amazing
thanks
Love you girl. I am from Jamaica we use our sense to cook to. Knife to open cans. I’m here on America and when I do that I’m looked at weird. Lol. Love it. That’s what I’m use to. 🎉
Love it! ❤️🤎 I love your channel!!!
Thanks
So happy for this recipe! Thank you! There is a Liberian restaurant that sells this for 12 dollars a bottle. Now I can use that 12 dollars to make a super batch!
Thanks for sharing love! ❤️
You welcome
Our neighbors are from Liberia and bring us food often. Wende always gives us her Liberian hot pepper sauce, but besides chicken, shrimp, and fish, can you tell me what else to put her sauce on? I'm subscribing to your channel. Or maybe you already have recipes where you use this hot sauce, and I just need to play around on your channel. My husband LOVES her spicy food, but I sadly admit that she has to make a cry-baby version for me. LOL And I LOVE when she cooks on Sundays and has her windows open. The entire neighborhood smells amazing whenever she cooks.
Congrats on your channel and all the success that awaits you. Your videos are awesome and am very happy for you and proud of you. To note this wonderful dish you made isn't Liberian Pepper Sauce. In Liberia we know this as Fried Pepper. We we Liberians speak of Pepper Sauce; it's an entirely different item prepared differently. When pepper is fried in oil it is fried pepper. When pepper is steamed or boiled down into a liquid with 👉🏿Vinegar👈🏿 added in; we Liberians call that Pepper Sauce. Fried Pepper is a rice condiment. Pepper Sauce is a fufu and soup (Pepper Soup) condiment.
I don’t think we’re spoiled in America, we just do a good job finding ways to do things easier or more efficient. I’m Ghanaian /Haitian born and raised in America ; I sometimes feel triggered when my own fam who don’t live in America make these comments
I feel you cause it triggers me also. She say all that but using lawrys and Goya 😂😂
We had can openers at home. Not sure what she’s talking about 😂😂.
@@MassaPour84exactly😂
I like telling my cousin in America that he’s spoilt but in reality I’m more spoilt in Africa 😂
I don’t believe she meant it offensively. What she says is true. Many people in parts of Africa lack some of the little conveniences such as can openers, microwaves and such that America has. That’s a real statement. In some places food is cooked outdoors on coal. Having seasonings is different from having modern kitchen conveniences and gadgets. Most Haitians/Africans would understand that bcuz it’s the literal truth.
Hi, I love your page its very helpful
Your video is making me want to go down to the Liberian restaurant and order some fried plaintains and croaker, gurllll 😂😋😋😋😍
Lol ikr....
Im American and i was taught to use a knife to open cans, even tho we had can opener we never used them. So when i met my husband his mom was surprised i opened cans with can opener (my husband is liberian)
I’m new here and love it
Thanks so much and welcome 🙏
😊 some of us really are but those of us like
myself have parents from the country and my pop taught me how to use a knife to
open a can as well, so when that can opener no longer works I'm getting that knife. Thank you for showing your recipe making this tonight with bake fish umm
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching
U the best sister
Hey awesome video how long does pepper sauce last in fridge
My jue, u I enjoyin u bad way oo. haha. Kukujumuku. lol
Thanks
Very nice 👍
Thanks
Do you have video of how to make Pepper chicken, or do you just pour the chicken into the pepper sauce. I remember at Liberian functions, pepper Chicken and Stout, or Becks Beer...OMG so good.
I don’t have a pepper chicken video yet but, I’ll consider making one soon. You can make the pepper sauce and pour the sauce over the chicken and mix it together. If you don’t want the chicken too spicy, mix the habanero peppers with bell peppers and onions to reduce the hotness.
I love when they add this sauce to my order from the Liberian restaurant but it’s always a small cup 😅
Thank you Queen
Any time.
Thank you
My pleasure 🙏
Thank u so much
U welcome
Please which store in the U.S did you by these habaneros? I can only find the yellow ones. I want the green and and red ones
I got it at a farmers market or a African store, but you can check stop and shop store.
I use to have to open our cans like that when we were little
memories.
Your videos are just great. Wondering if you’ve made this with small bonnies and smoked fish before. I was thought by a coworker how to make it. Numb.........
you can definitely add dry bonnies and smoke fish.
Waiting for my wife to go out of town so I don’t have the whole house smelling like mace…
Do you keep it in a refrigerator?
lol this American use to open cans like this all the time back in the day… we hand washed our clothes with a wash board… 🤷🏾♀️😂 old school
❤️❤️❤️
So all i been missing is the tomato paste thanks fine girl 🎉
Lol..let me start by saying thank you for your video ❤🤗...but lol..we people of color in this land did use Knife to open cans too there is a lot of struggles we did trust.
Do you ship all over US I live in Wisconsin am South African
Cynthia Sallee yes i do. Email me or Dm me on ig @cookingwithwinn and we can discuss better.
Bruh using the knife brought me back to simpler times, great memories. Still do it tho😂 cause I hurt mysef more walkin then this
same here. every time i use the knife this way, it brings a lot of memories to me too.
Bouta see wsp. Making it rn, I’ll let u know if that shit good
What kind of oil did you use?
Vegetable oil
Thanks mama
Any time
I miss my Liberian food, it’s sad that I’m a vegetarian now and not so tolerant to chilli as I used to be 😩
That's how I open a can when I don't have a can opener. Nobody taught me using the knife. I just use my instinct ;) and use what I have.
No she can use the knife cause she wants. Blows my mind how people try to tell others how to do something because you do it differently. She got it open and even if it “damaged” the knife so what🤷🏾♀️
@@tanekatuck7470yep, that's what I do too. But my knife is fine though
My dear you did great but could you mention that this is a LIBERIAN cooking? Be proud of your country girl. I am proudly liberian.
And who said i wasn’t proud of my country? If u watch my into video, i said i was going to make Liberian food. So i am proud of my country and food.
What was the heat on low ?
So the pepper don’t burn
How many days can it last?
Can I add onions
Just hop on your channel.
And like the saying. Liberian don't cook with recipes...😅I can relate
Your funny but true...coughing and sneezing
Please don’t tell people that we didn’t have can openers in Liberia. Just say your family didn’t have one.With that statement you are insinuating that there weren’t any can openers in the country. Some families did things the old fashion way and others couldn’t afford to buy a can opener so they didn’t have a choice but to use a knife.My family had a toaster a CanOpener,cake mixer etc.
Just because your family had all those stuff that don’t mean it was available in store to everyone back then. Probably those that had it were people who have relatives abroad that send them those stuff. It wasn’t available in the market or store like the way all the other cooking material were available to everyone back then. Those stuff just started being available to everyone and I’m not saying everyone can afford it now but at least you can see it in store and market places a lot now than before but thanks for your feedback and thanks for watching.
Wow, our eyes and ears don't pass by nothing. If ur don't want learned but make comment on the little words the lady said, then no need to watch her videos
Like the video but every one is spoiled in their own way! 🙌🏼
thanks and yes, that is true.
Good cooking how can I follow you?
While cooking with what you already know is a good thing, it is wise to learn from other people recipes. Can openers are in Liberia if you know where to buy it and can afford it. I guess your pepper sauce is ok,but there is better, much better. Try other recipes. Liberia especially has excellent pepper sauces. Especially if you want to be a good cook.
Can we add onion
Yes
To say that AMERICANS are spoil was kinda RUDE but I love your video ❤️
I like to bake it with fish
Yea, that works too
Can I cook it without the tomato pest
You can definitely make the sauce without tomato paste.
Add tomatoes to it if you're not using tomatoes paste
Is this suya sauce or they aren’t the same
FYI. Before Americans got a can opener my ancestors used a a knife also. So we really aren’t that spoiled.
A cube could be used as well to season the pepper 🌶️
Yes of course.
What kinda oil? This is perfect!!!! I'm gonna eat it!!!
Vegetable oil
I made it. As me and the bros say, its dank! It's brilliant! I'm almost done with the jar
@@sebastianwahl8600 you should follow the fried kala recipe, this pepper goes perfect with it.
I still use this way to open my cans
Are you worried bout pieces of aluminum getting into your sauce from open can that way.. if can openers were available in your country,you’ll would have use it as well..ijs
Honestly, i have not worry about pieces of aluminum getting in my sauce because i haven't chew on any aluminum pieces in my sauce or food before so that's why it haven't cross my mind. if can opener were available back then, we could've use it but we just work with what we had. now we used can opener because it's available and it's easier and safer.
Where to store when done? Shelf life?
Me: Wondering if I have a can opener...doesn't have a can opener....looks at knife...hops in car goes to 99 cent store...buys a two pack can opener for 99 cents...comes back home...continues watching video with no intention on making this hot ass recipe...
No onions?
GREAT WORK MAKING YOUR HOT HOT PEPPER...NICE ...
y no onions or bell peppers?
because i do not make my pepper sauce with onions or bell pepper but you can add it to yours.
Ghana make the same thing 😂
nice.
Fried pepper and pepper sauce are two different kinds of pepper I think you mean fried pepper, because pepper sauce is made with vinegar and lemon
It's pepper sauce in my country. That's how we Liberian make our pepper sauce.
You really came to a Liberian woman’s post to tell her she doesn’t know what she was raised up cooking/eating? That’s like saying Koreans shouldn’t call it BBQ because where you’re from, BBQ involves and outdoor grill and BBQ sauce.
You useless sheep have nothing better to do. Leave the people daughter alone before I get vex!
@Harriette Harris and @Lovetee L; I'm Liberian. Harriet's is right. Sorry Winn you're wrong. Fried pepper is what you made; pepper fried in oil. Pepper Sauce In Liberia is peppered steamed or boiled not fried and vinegar is added to it. Fried Pepper and Pepper Sauce are two very different distinct things In Liberia.
Is it the same a suya sauce or no
@@kplebonyebehnyine5195Well I don't know where you got your info, but this is exactly how my Liberian Chef (an old lady in her late sixties) made her pepper sauce, and it was the best thing! I've scoured the internet looking for true Liberian home cooking like Mama Jeryl (the Chef), and Winn's cooking is the only one that comes close. This is pepper sauce alright! Hats off to Winn! Thank you for representing the roots!
Which one is the spicy sauce which has a fishy taste
We spoiled over here. Lol I bet you would miss the USA if you went back.
We have can openers and all those things that makes life easy back home in Liberia. It’s probably the area she grew up, didn’t have it. Like in every country, you have the big cities and the small towns. Cheers
I know it's your food and all but I think that fire was too high. It didn't look like medium heat at all.
thanks for ur feedback and thanks for watching.
Not sure why you wouldn’t invest in a can opener. A lot cheaper than ruining knives.
I have a can opener. Just wanted to show how we did it back home when can opener wasn't invented.
Y’all really mad at her saying Americans are spoiled just eat her pepper sauce and go smh. I’m never mad over carribean or African girls saying we’re spoiled because compared to them we ARE spoiled I’m mad when they say we can’t cook because American black women are the best cooks this world has to offer but really u mad that she said you’re spoiled? It’s spoiled of you that u even have time to get mad about something like that. Y’all must’ve gotten this pepper sauce in your eyes crying for no damn reason.
That Part😤😤😤🤣🤣🤣
I kinda get where you are coming from too🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️Like she being Bias🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
Just buy a can opener lol
i have one, was just tryin g to show how we did it back then.
Use a can opener when you want to open a can. Using the knife to open the can will damage the knife 🤦
Winn, watch what you say. All Americans are not Spoiled. I'm from Mississippi and I grew up waking up early in the morning going to the bean and greens field to pick vegetables. We used a Knife to open cans, we fished everyday for food. My uncle hunted for deer and other meats. Yes the world has changed now and we have more technology. But nothing stays the same, everything changes. A baby go from a baby to an adult. A Caterpillar turns into a butterfly. With that being said. I just subscribed and now I'm unsubscribing.
Of course I do watch what I say because I don’t want people getting offended, but it doesn’t matter what i say or how i say it, it seems like people still gonna find offense to it. I get that you do all those stuff in Mississippi but it’s a whole different experience farming here and hunting for your own food than it is in Liberia. But anyways, thanks for sharing ur feedback. Like i said before, my comment wasn’t meant to offend anyone. I was just joking around. And yes i do know that all Americans are not spoiled.
Good to know I'm not the only one who felt a dig about Blacks in America being spoiled...because several people responded and @ me as well stating that it was only a joke... anyway, another Liberian gave me her recipe but I forgot an ingredient and didn't want to bother her...so I came to this site, there are others with pretty good recipes...
Good recipe but please understand we Americans didn't always gave electric. Even to this day I still use a knife to open cans so don't generalize what you may not know.
And by the way. You are using the wrong knife to open the can. A smaller sharper knife would work better
I don’t think I’m using the wrong knife. I understand that some people prefer smaller knife because it works better but that doesn’t mean you can not use any knife. So what if someone do not have a smaller knife in their house, then what? They shouldn’t open their can with the knife they have because it’s not a smaller knife? As long as the knife is sharp and you feel comfortable using it, that’s all that matters. Like I said, back in Liberia, we didn’t look for a specific knife to open our can, we used whatever we have as long as it works.
Brittney Swinney you funny 😂😂! You said Americans are not spoiled but you are crying about the knife that is being used to open a can. 😂😂! We don’t have that luxury in Africa/Liberia 🇱🇷 🤭🤭😩. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
When she said spoiled, she said it in a very respectful and humbling way. For crying out loud.
Please be respectful when you are here enjoying her efforts to teach and entertain you.
God bless you. I really enjoy your channel.
God bless 🙏
Thanks love
What's the difference between fried pepper and what you are making? Pepper sauce is different, used for futu and soup whereas this is referred to as fried Pepper. Yes, I know many people just say Pepper sauce to refer to all of them wrongly.
Well, in my country we called it pepper sauce. Every culture has different way of making it and different name for it so yea.
@@CookingwithWinn wa kinda thin you talking so ma?
That's the name we all call it in Liberia.. pepper sauce. Not fry pepper..if you're saying fry pepper u will just fry the pepper it will look red
I still open my cans with a knife
Americans used to do the same thing we know how to open a can with a knife, the difference! We have improved or lives by not staying backwards. Africa has gold and diamonds, yet they Don know what to do with them, that's why the world can come in and take all you resources from you. We are not spoiled we just work darm hard, so when things make life easier we accept. Like you using a blender instead of chopping things by hand anymore. Just saying
