Piri Piri Spice

Piri Piri Spice Blend — Blend No.3

Piri piri is the famous flame-grilled flavour of the high street — and now you can make it at home for a fraction of the price. This Afro-Portuguese blend of chilli, garlic and zesty lime brings a subtle, building heat that spices things up without overpowering. Flame-grilled chicken and crispy potatoes on the table in 30 to 40 minutes — no queue, no delivery fee.

What it tastes like

Zesty, garlicky and gently fiery — chilli and cayenne with garlic, kaffir lime and basil, lifted by ginger and oregano. A subtle, building heat that lets the tangy, aromatic flavours shine rather than just burning.

Cook this tonight

• Rub onto chicken (thighs, wings or a butterflied bird) and grill, roast or BBQ for piri piri chicken — serve with rice, slaw and crispy potatoes.
• Toss with potato wedges or fries before roasting for moreish piri piri chips.
• Stir into rice, prawns or roasted veg, or use as a marinade loosened with oil and lemon.

How to use it

A little goes a long way — one to two teaspoons is plenty for a family meal for four or five, and you can build the heat to taste. Loosen with a little oil and lemon to make a marinade and let your chicken sit in it for as long as you can before cooking. It's as good on veg and potatoes as it is on meat, so experiment.
