Siwo Pété Djèl is a cane sugar syrup with chili, made in Martinique. Sweet first, spicy after: a few drops liven up a ti-punch, glaze a grilled dish or wake up a vinaigrette. 50 cl bottle, alcohol-free.
What does Siwo Pété Djèl mean?
In Creole, siwo means syrup, pété means to burst, and djèl means mouth (or face). A syrup “to blow your mouth off”, then: the name sets the tone. The recipe itself is short: cane sugar, water and chili pepper. The result is an amber, thick syrup, where the sweetness of the cane comes first and the heat of the chili rises right after.
How to use it?
- In a ti-punch or a planteur, in place of part of the cane syrup (excessive alcohol consumption is dangerous for your health; drink in moderation).
- Brushed on at the end of cooking, over chicken, pork ribs or grilled fish, for a sweet and spicy glaze.
- In a marinade, a vinaigrette or a sauce chien.
- Drizzled over vanilla ice cream, a coconut flan or fresh fruit.
Start with a few drops, taste, then adjust: Antillean chili is powerful.
What to pair it with?
For ti-punch: DORMOY batterie syrup and CHALEUR CRÉOLE lime juice. For cooking: LE GALION cane sugar and CHALEUR CRÉOLE bird's eye chili. The whole section: Caribbean and Antillean flavours and chilies and hot sauces. In the same section: DÉLICES DE GUYANE ginger syrup.
