PIRI PIRI SAUCE



Piri Piri Sauce image

It's hard to go a day in Mozambique without eating something that's touched with piri piri sauce (sometimes written as peri peri). The sauce, made with chiles, citrus, and oil, is Portuguese in origin, but peri is actually the Swahili word for "chile" and refers to a specific type of chile pepper that is said to have been first cultivated in Africa. While the sauce is traditionally made with piri piri chiles, all different kinds of hot peppers work well. We found that red Fresno chiles, readily available in the United States and not quite as hot as jalapeños, work really well. However, if you can only find jalapeños, just use three fresh ones in place of the red Fresno chiles. Use the sauce anywhere you would use sriracha. Try it on grilled chicken, toss it with raw cashews and then roast them for a great snack with cocktails, stir it into a seafood stew, or use it for Prego Rolls (Steak and Piri Piri Sandwiches).

TRADITIONAL PORTUGUESE PIRI PIRI SAUCE FOR CHICKEN



Traditional Portuguese Piri Piri Sauce for Chicken image

I love churrasqueira chicken and have been looking for a recipe to make it myself. I found this on Breakfast Television Toronto's web site. They got the recipe from Roasty Chicken Churrasqueira which is in the town of Maple just north of Toronto. A friend told me that she's used this sauce for fish and shrimp, too. I've tried it on shrimp and it's wonderful. Simply marinate the shrimp for an hour and then drain the shrimp, discard the sauce and grill the shrimp on the barbie.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 tablespoons lemon juice
5 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar (balsamic gives an excellent flavour)
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chili flakes

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and whisk together.
  • Brush on chicken before barbecuing (or baking in oven @ 350 °F for 1.25 hours WITHOUT opening the door during during entire cooking process.) It helps the flavour if you marinate the chicken for a few hours prior to cooking!
