Piri Piri 01 – African Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

Piri-Piri

(Mozambique)

4 red peppers, crushed, or two heaping teaspoons cayenne pepper

1/4t salt

juice of 2 medium-sized lemons

2 cloves garlic, crushed

5 sprigs parsley, chopped

1C butter or oil

For a marinade, combine all the ingredients except butter in a bowl

with meat or seafood. Stir to coat each piece well. If you’ll be

cooking within a couple of hours, let the mixture sit at room

temperature; otherwise, cover and refrigerate. Marinating overnight

allows the flavors to blend nicely.

Note: This recipe is enough for 3-4lbs of chicken or fish. When

making large quantities, a food processor or blender is convenient;

for small amounts, a mortar and pestle is both fast and easy to

clean.
