Clare Ferguson's Chicken piri-piri
No comments
Piri-Piri, in Portugal, refers to the tiny, searingly hot chillies that are a local passion. Fresh or dried, these are put into vinegar and left to infuse, giving a fiery sauce, molho piri-piri. It is an idea that turns up all over the world; in South Africa, Brazil, Cuba and India. This version of the classic piri-piri has both Portuguese and South African influences.
