Hi,

My first time putting something on the group but have enjoyed the traffic in
the weeks since joining.

I've been looking for a long time for a recipe for Portuguese style
Peri-Peri sauce of the kind served with chicken in Mozambique and then
filtering into other Southern African countries like Zimbabwe and South
Africa with migrants from Mozambique.

While Peri-peri seems to be a fairly generic term for chilli, this sauce has
many ingredients including onions, tomato?, olive oil, lemon, vinegar etc.
It is probably best known from the now international chain Nandos.  The best
I have ever tasted was from the Coimbra restaurant in Harare which was
legendary!

I presume it originated in Portugal so there may be Portuguese or Brazillian
versions.

Does anyone have a recipe like this or know where I can get one?

Thanks in advance,
