This spicy Haitian sauce is popular throughout the Caribbean. It consists of oil, scotch bonnet peppers, tomato sauce or tomato paste, lemon or lime juice, and various spices and flavorings such as onions, cloves, salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley.

The sauce is traditionally served warm, and it is then spooned over various meat, fish, or rice dishes, but it can also be used as a condiment while preparing other dishes to add a spicy kick.
