Shito is a rich and flavourful Ghanaian hot pepper sauce, traditionally made with a blend of Scotch bonnet peppers, spices, and aromatics. While the classic version includes dried fish, Yaa’s Sauce offers a plant-based alternative that substitutes fish with dried seaweed, delivering the same authentic umami and fish-like depth of flavour.
This sauce boasts layers of bold, savoury, and spicy flavours, balanced with a subtle sweetness from caramelised onions, which are slowly cooked to perfection. The result is a complex and deeply satisfying taste experience.
Shito is wonderfully versatile and can be enjoyed as a condiment, spread, dipping sauce, or marinade. It’s delightful on scrambled tofu with avocado toast - one of our favourites - or served alongside jollof rice.
