Piri Piri Dressing Recipes

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).

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.

My husband loves piri piri sauce. He first had it when we went to the Portuguese restaurant chain Nandos and now I have to buy a bottle of it a week. So, I figured I should find an actual recipe for it and try doing it myself. This recipe comes from British tv chef Simon Rimmer who is a chef I particularly enjoy.

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).
