Piri Piri Sauce

Cultural Context

Piri Piri sauce, originating from Portuguese cuisine, is a spicy condiment made from chili peppers and is often used as a marinade for grilled meats, particularly chicken. Its roots can be traced back to the African influence on Portuguese cooking, especially from the regions where the African bird's eye chili is cultivated. The sauce has gained international popularity, especially in the UK and South Africa, where it is commonly used in various dishes.
