| On my last trip to London, I went to a Nandos Piri-Piri Chicken Restaurant and had one of their vegetable pitta-pockets. It was VILE, and gave me a nose bleed :evil: But I love spicy food, and was curious what real Piri-Piri is like. Today on the TV a cookery programme showed how to make a simple Piri-Piri dressing. It can be drizzled over grilled tofu, vege-burgers, or vegetable kebabs. 1 small chilli (thai or birds-eye), deseeded and chopped 1 Jalapeno chilli, sliced 2 tbsp sweet paprika 1 onion, chopped 2 tbsp olive oil 1 tbsp red wine vinegar juice of 1/2 lemon Simply put all the ingredients in a food processor or blender, and 'blitz' until it becomes a sauce. You can alter the amounts of chilli depending on how hot you want your sauce. I made it with a teaspoon of chilli sauce, because my chilli peppers haven't ripened yet :wink: and balsamic vinegar, and concentrated lemon juice. |

How it gave you a nose bleed? Was it so hot? |

| Hmmm, I'm not sure... Yes it was hot (my mouth went numb too!) I usually love hot food, but this was something else! :o A different sort of hot? I think the restaurant had used the marinade for the chicken, and poured it on my food like a sauce: there was loads of it! Much more than my chicken-eating friends got... :-? I also think the raw onion in the sauce causes the chilli to taste hotter... but I don't really know. :) |
