For Bergy, hope this is the right piri-piri spice mix. Found this in B H & G and will try it this weekend. Looks wonderful in the picture and sounds great. It will be interesting to see how it works. Will comment after I try it and let you all know.

1 lb sweet potato
1 lb boneless venison, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces (I will use beef)

2 tablespoons purchased piri-piri, spice (or make your own with this recipe)

  • Grill for 25 to 35 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender, turning occasionally.

PIRI PIRI SAUCE (PORTUGAL, ALGARVE) HOMEMADE



Piri Piri Sauce (Portugal, Algarve) Homemade image

Recipezaar already has 11 recipes for piri piri (sauce, dressing, oil, spice) and 10 recipes using it, so why add another? First, piri piri is in the cuisines of Africa, Portugal, South America and the Caribbean, so there are variations to the ingredients, heat and form. Second, all of the versions currently posted are "quick", i.e., whether the ingredients are raw or cooked, you can prepare them and use them the same day -- this version is the more authentic marinated and pickled version (Warning: from the time you start to make this until the time you can use it is 5 weeks!! I didn't count this in the prep time). Finally, I've had this version, love the taste and know how reliable the recipe source is. With credit to Elisabeth Luard's "The Food of Spain and Portugal: A Regional Celebration", here is piri piri as made in the Algarve ... Recipe provided for Zaar World Tour 5 (2009).

8 ounces mild red peppers, seeded and roughly sliced
