Description:
Piri Piri, or peri-peri, refers to both a type of chili pepper and a popular spice blend, primarily associated with African and Portuguese cuisines. The peppers are small, fiery, and typically bright red or orange, known for their intense heat and distinctive flavor. Piri Piri sauce is made by blending these peppers with ingredients like garlic, lemon juice, vinegar, and various herbs, resulting in a tangy and spicy condiment.
Originally from Africa, Piri Piri became widely known through Portuguese exploration, particularly in regions like Mozambique and Angola. The sauce is famous for its use in marinating grilled meats, especially chicken, and is often served as a dipping sauce or condiment. Its versatility allows it to enhance a variety of dishes, from seafood to vegetables, making it a favorite for spice lovers.
