Piri piri

Piri Piri pepper, also known as African bird's eye chili, is a small, fiery chili pepper that originates from Africa and is widely used in Portuguese cuisine. Known for its intense heat, it measures between 50,000 and 175,000 on the Scoville scale.

When immature, it's green, but turns red and purple as it matures. Piri piri peppers are typically used to make piri piri sauce, a popular condiment that combines the peppers with ingredients like garlic, vinegar, lemon, and oil. The sauce is often used to marinate and season chicken, seafood, and other dishes, adding a spicy kick.
