I found this on a Portugues website, and thought it was good to share. I like the idea that you can use this sauce the same way you can use tabasco sauce.

MOLHO DE PIRI-PIRI (PORTUGUESE PERI-PERI MARINADE SAUCE)

This spicy hot marinade can be used on any meat you grill - chicken, beef, shrimp or prawns (I've even tried it with fish!).. 'Aging' the marinade by storing it in an airtight container and refrigerated for a few days allows the flavour to intensify. A word of caution: habanero chillies are HOT, so please handle them with care! Use gloves or oil your hands before touching them so that the chilli 'oil' does not penetrate into the pores of your skin. The serving size is a guess-timate - this 1 batch of marinade is enough to marinate 6-8 chicken drumsticks or about 30 shrimps or prawns.

PIRI PIRI SAUCE

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 jalapeƱos, work really well. However, if you can only find jalapeƱos, 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).

Time 10m

Yield About 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 red Fresno chiles, stemmed, seeded, and coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon granulated sugar, plus more as needed
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed

Steps:

  • In the jar of a blender, combine the chiles, garlic, ginger, lime juice, oil, sugar, and salt and puree until smooth. Season to taste with more salt or sugar if you'd like. Transfer to a jar and store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. Fresh peppers will give your peri peri sauce the best flavor.
  • If you can't find fresh peppers, you can use dried peppers. Just be sure to soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before using.
  • Use a variety of peppers to create a complex flavor. Some good options include cayenne peppers, habanero peppers, and scotch bonnet peppers.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add garlic, onion, ginger, or even fruit to your peri peri sauce.
  • Be careful not to overcook the peppers. Overcooked peppers will lose their flavor and become bitter.
  • Let your peri peri sauce cool completely before storing it. This will help the flavors to meld together.
  • Store your peri peri sauce in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peri peri sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for grilled meats, fish, and vegetables.
