Piri Piri is the Swahili word for 'pepper pepper 'and is also the word used in the Portuguese language for pepper and is also where this sauce originates.



Although it's not Indian in flavour it is one of my favourite pepper sauces and one that I have spent a long time perfecting so it deserves to be shared. It works both as a marinade especially when roasting chicken or as just a dipping sauce. Although it is very fiery it has a wonderful acidity that makes it so special so if you like a chilli sauce this one will not disappoint.
