Peri Peri, the national hot sauce of Zimbabwe, is an ancestor of many of our Acadian (and other southern) hot sauces.

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 -5 fresh hot chili peppers, chopped (such as jalapeno, habanero)
1/2 cup lemon juice or 1/2 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (to taste) or 1 tablespoon red pepper (to taste)
3 -4 garlic cloves
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
4 -5 tablespoons olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a blender and process to a smooth paste. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow flavours to develop.
  • Prior to cooking, I recommend seasoning lightly with additional kosher salt.
  • Suggested cooking method: Coat chicken pieces in the marinade until they are completely coated. Cover and let marinate overnight in the refrigerator.
  • For oven cooking, it's important that the chicken pieces be arranged with no space between them. Using a dish that is too large will cause the sauce to burn off when cooking.
  • Another authentic cooking method is to "butterfly" a whole chicken, which is to split a cleaned whole chicken down the center enough to allow it to lie flat, but without cutting it into two pieces. Then flatten it by hitting it with a mallet or sturdy bottle and coating the chicken with Peri Peri and marinating overnight before grilling.

PILI-PILI (PERI-PERI) MARINADE

A very hot marinade I found on the Congo Cookbook website. I eat a variety of foods so I love spices but also some heat and this is delicious. Play with the ingredients to tame, I tweaked the recipe a bit. It's really quick to make, everything in the blender! Perfect on shrimp (for the BBQ), but good for chicken and pork. (I think it makes around 1/2 to 1 cup)
