Where can I buy this and what is in it?

Key ingredient - South African / Portuguese birds-eye Chillies. Then there's typically other stuff like herbs, spices, lime, that kind of thing.. Best place to buy it Portugal or South Africa, but failing that, you'll find variants in most well stocked supermarkets.

There's a food chain called Nandos (not in Ireland sadly) that sell PiriPiri marinades and dipping sauces, that are usually available in most mainstream supermarkets (Try Tescos).. It'll usually be stocked with their tabasco sauces, chilli sauces etc., though I've noticed they don't carry Nandos as much as they used to.

Usually (but not exclusively eaten with chicken).

But don't take my word for it, look it up: here.

When oh WHEN will we have Nando's in Ireland??!

I think we should start a petition.

BTW - you can get Nando's sauces in Superquinn (I think, or maybe Tesco, or both?).

i also bought that piri piri relish from m&s. it's a relish, not the actual sauce that you would add to chicken. i have been using it in sandwiches. in portugal you can buy a chilli sauce that's called piri piri, but that's more for spicing up food at the table, than for cooking. great for chicken wings.

anyway Piri Piri is quite easy to make. it's basically a marinade for chicken or prawns.

this is my family's recipe. it's very easy to make.

2 garlic cloves
2-3 birds eye chillis
tbsp salt
1 dried bay leaf crushed
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp vinegar (or lemon juice)


take the first 4 ingredients and make a paste in a pestle and mortar or food pocessor and then add the oil and vinegar. pour over chicken and let sit for 2-4 hours, or 30 mins on the prawns. then either bbq or oven cook (finishing off under the grill) basting with the marinade every so often.

sorry about that nice1franko. i was in M&S yesterday and i noticed that marinade. i bought nando's once and it was fine, but the marinade is so easy to make from scratch i wouldn't really bother.

I got the M&S relish one, very nice. I think I have seen other piri piri stuff in the filipino shop in dun laoghaire, opposite walters pub
