Peri-peri is the Swahili word used in Mozambique and Angola to describe the African bird's-eye chili, a close variety of cili padi. In Mozambican cuisine, peri-peri is often used in preparing sauces and marinades for roast and grilled dishes, especially chicken and various fish. Peri-peri is widely used in a vast number of dishes of Portuguese cuisine.
Nando's, the Portuguese-themed chicken restaurant, originated in South Africa from Portuguese who left Mozambique after the independence in 1975. The chain uses peri-peri in many of its dishes, and helped popularise them worldwide.
