Peri Peri Cuisine

Peri Peri cuisine is distinguished not just by its signature dish, Peri Peri chicken, but also by its range of sauces that cater to a wide spectrum of taste preferences, from the mildest to the hottest. The term "Peri Peri" (alternatively "Piri Piri" or "Pili Pili") refers to a type of chili pepper used in these sauces, originating from Portuguese-African culinary traditions, especially in Mozambique and Angola.
