Piri Piri Seasoning
Piri Piri Seasoning
Piri Piri Seasoning is a salt-free, MSG-free seasoning blend. It is also called peri peri seasoning powder, pili pili, peri peri powder, piri seasoning or piri piri spice mix. Pilipili means “pepper” in Swahili.
This seasoning blend arose from piri-piri sauce (or peri-peri, or pili-pili). The history of this sauce is murky and rambling, caught up in the history of Portuguese conquistadors and their travels through Africa and Brazil. Though different regions that enjoy piri piri use different ingredients to make this sauce, they all agree that there should be a bright burst of heat and some tart citrus to brighten it up.
