Best Piri Piri Oil Recipes
PIRI-PIRI OIL
This interesting sauce is the Caribbean oil-based variation on the African sauce from Angola, which was transferred to the region by Portuguese immigrants working the cacao plantations in Trinidad and Guyana. Can be used in place of olive oil in almost any recipe. Pimento leaves are traditionally used in this recipe, but are hard to find. NOTE: This recipe requires minimum 2 weeks advance preparation. From "Too Many Chiles" by Dave DeWitt and Nancy & Jeff Gerlach.

PIRI PIRI (SPICY HERB OIL)
This is sort of an European version of the spicy oil, read: Not as Hot! It will still give a kick to whatever you put it on. It's good for drizzling on pizza, over vegetables, grilled meats or fish, or even drizzled on fresh bread. Sometimes it is made with the very hot bird chilies or Thai chilies. This version uses dried so that it lasts for months.
