Dear CH'ers,

Here's the recipe for the Seychelles hot sauce that someone was looking
for a few weeks ago. It came to me via a VERY circuitous path!
Florida-Australia-UK-Seychelles-UK-back to Australia-back to Florida!

I hope that you can understand the recipe which is written in
Seychelloise-English!

Now about the mazavarou - what is called by this name is a mixture of
vegetables or fruits which are preserved.

As an example normally we use equal portion of Fresh carrots, Fresh
green beans, cabbages, mangoes. They are all cut in vertical portions. 
You also add onions which is cut vertically as well and chillis if they
are small are not cut but if they are long they are cut in half and
similar to the vegetables.

They are all mixed with salt and pepper.  Then pour some oil in a pan
and allow it to heat up.  The mixture is then poured in and stirred up.  
This is not for long as it is not being cooked.  After putting off the
fire, allow it to cool down.  In the meantime, prepare close jars which
they are then put in and also ensuring that there is enough olive oil to
cover the mazavarou completely.  Allow it to stay in the jar for about
two to three days before starting to eat.
