Let me tell you about it. The name, “aka-banga” is Kinyarwandan and translates to “little secret”. It is often referred to as Rwanda’s little secret oil, as you’ll find it everywhere there. It is often referred to as a hot sauce or chili sauce, but it is, in reality, a chili oil. He named it “akabanga”, meaning “little secret”. Soon, customers began visiting him to specifically request his chili oil, and akabanga was born.
How Do I Use Akabanga Chili Oil?
Use akabanga chili oil sparingly, as a little bit goes a long way. It can be drizzled over just about any food where heat and a flavor kick are in order. I can add complexity to soups and stews, as well as grilled or smoked meats. Consider it as part of a marinade, as part of a salad dressing, or as a finishing oil. It comes in a tiny bottle with an eyedropper, so you can easily add a few drops to whatever is you’re enjoying, allowing you to control the overall heat. It is best to start with a few drops to test the heat and flavor, then add more from there.
