Kwatay Shito is a rich, flavorful Ghanaian hot pepper sauce made from a blend of dried chili peppers, garlic, ginger, onions, and a mix of spices, often enhanced with shrimp or fish powder for added depth.
Slow-cooked in oil until it reaches a deep, dark brown color, this savory and spicy condiment has a smoky, umami-rich taste that pairs perfectly with rice, grilled meats, fried yam, and even bread. A staple in many Ghanaian households, Kwatay Shito is known for its bold heat and long shelf life, making it a versatile addition to various dishes.
