Crab Peri Peri Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the paprika, chili powder, lemon juice, garlic, ginger and salt. Rub chicken with the mixture, place in a dish, and marinate for 3 hours.
• Preheat a grill for medium heat.
• Place chicken onto the grill and discard the marinade. Cook for about 30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is slightly charred and juices run clear.

Steps:

• Grind chilies, garlic, garam masala, cumin seeds, ginger, tomatoes and vinegar to a paste using a pestle and mortar or small food processor with the. Season with salt.
• Heat the oil in a large wok. Add the onion and cook until soft. Add the pieces of crab and stir them into the onions. Continue frying until they start to change colour slightly.
• Stir the spice paste into the pan, to coat the pieces of crab. Add 3 tablespoons of water, bring to the boil and cover with a lid. Steam for 5-7 minutes until the crab shells turn red and the flesh is tender.
• Serve straight from the pan. Ditch the cutlery for this dish - roll up your sleeves and dig inches.

Steps:

• PERI-PERI SAUCE
• Mix the ingredients together in a bottle and shake well. You can make the sauce ahead and store it in the fridge; the flavour improves with age, reaching its peak at two weeks.
• Slit prawns down their backs and devein. Leave heads on, or remove them if you prefer. Depending on the size of your frying pan, cook them in one or two batches.
• Heat the butter gently and add the garlic and lemon juice. Don't let the garlic burn. Add prawns and peri-peri sauce. (Shake first to make sure you get some of the chilli and garlic as well.)
• Sizzle for 4-5 minutes, turning frequently, until cooked. Season with salt and pepper and tip into a warm serving bowl. Garnish, if you wish, with chopped fresh parsley. Serve with rice or bread and butter.

Steps:

• Remove the chicken's backbone by using a pair of kitchen scissors. Turn it over and flatten it down to spread the chicken out as much as possible.
• Blend together all of the marinade ingredients in a food processor and spread half of it over the chicken.
• Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Roast in the centre of a preheated oven for 60 minutes at 200°C (400°F), or until the thickest part of the thigh is 75°C. Once the chicken is cooked through, allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
• Simmer the other half of the marinade for 2-3 minutes to make the Peri Peri sauce.
• Use as a dip for your chicken or mix some into mayonnaise or hummus!
• To make Peri Peri Chips, just shake some smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder and white pepper into your chips!
• Enjoy!
