Piri Piri Spice Recipe !new! ★

The name "Piri Piri" derives from the Swahili word pili pili , meaning "pepper." When Portuguese explorers arrived in Africa, they encountered the Bird’s Eye Chili. They brought it back to Portugal, where the spice was integrated into the cuisine, evolving into the famous "Frango de Churrasco" (grilled chicken) found globally today. The spice profile is a hybrid: African heat combined with Mediterranean aromatics (oregano, garlic, olive oil).
