About Piri piri sauce

Piri Piri sauce is a flavorful, spicy condiment originating from Portuguese and African cuisine. Made primarily with red chili peppers, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, and various spices, this vibrant sauce delivers a smoky heat with a tangy undertone. The name "piri piri" comes from the Swahili term for "pepper," reflecting its African roots. Rich in capsaicin from the chilies, the sauce may offer metabolism-boosting and anti-inflammatory benefits. Olive oil provides heart-healthy fats, while garlic contributes antioxidants and immune-boosting properties. However, the sodium content in commercially prepared versions can be high, so moderation is advised. Whether used as a marinade, dip, or drizzle, Piri Piri adds bold flavor to grilled meats, seafood, and vegetables.
