Chilli Periperi Ground 50g

Recipes & Uses

Why Choose Ground Peri-Peri Chilli?

Serious chilli heat
This isn't designed to provide gentle background warmth. Peri-Peri is for people who genuinely enjoy hot food.

The foundation of peri-peri marinades
Combine it with lemon, garlic, oil and herbs to create that unmistakable peri-peri flavour.

Excellent with chicken and seafood
It works particularly well with chicken, prawns and fish.

Use it wet or dry
Turn it into a marinade or sauce, or mix it into a dry rub or seasoning salt.

A little goes a long way
Because the chilli is potent, you can build the heat gradually instead of using large amounts.

What Does Peri-Peri Chilli Taste Like?

Ground Peri-Peri Chilli is hot, vibrant and punchy, with bright chilli character, subtle citrus-like notes and a gentle smokiness.

Unlike a simple neutral heat source, peri-peri has enough character to help define the flavour of the dish.

It pairs particularly well with:

Lemon
Garlic
Paprika
Oregano
Olive oil
Chicken
Prawns

These ingredients soften and round out the chilli while still allowing the heat to remain front and centre.

How to Use Ground Peri-Peri Chilli

Peri-Peri Chicken

Combine:

Ground Peri-Peri Chilli
Lemon juice
Garlic
Paprika
Olive oil
Herbs
Salt

Coat chicken thoroughly and allow it to marinate before grilling, roasting or barbecuing.

Peri-Peri Prawns

Mix a small amount with olive oil, garlic and lemon.

Toss through prawns and cook quickly in a hot pan or on the barbecue.

Spicy Chicken Wings

Mix Peri-Peri Chilli into your favourite wing seasoning or marinade before baking or grilling.

Dry Rub

Combine with smoked paprika, garlic, oregano and salt for chicken, pork, fish or vegetables.

Spicy Mayonnaise

Stir a small pinch into mayonnaise along with lemon juice.

Use with burgers, chips, grilled chicken or seafood.

Seasoning Salt

Mix a little Peri-Peri Chilli into sea salt to make a fiery finishing seasoning.

Try it on fries, popcorn, roasted nuts or avocado.

Peri-Peri vs Ordinary Chilli Powder

Both bring chilli heat, but Peri-Peri has a much more specific personality.

Choose Peri-Peri Chilli when you want:

• Strong heat
• African-Portuguese style flavour
• Peri-peri chicken
• Lemon and garlic marinades
• Hot sauces and dips

Choose a more general Chilli Powder when you want:

• Everyday chilli warmth
• Chilli con carne
• Tacos and burritos
• Soups and stews
• A more general-purpose chilli seasoning

Peri-Peri isn't simply there to make a dish hotter.

It's often the flavour the whole dish is built around.

Add It During Cooking or at the End?

Both work — but the result is different.

Add Peri-Peri Chilli during cooking and the heat has more time to spread through the dish and mingle with the other ingredients.

Add it towards the end or sprinkle it onto finished food and the heat will feel sharper and more immediate.

That means you can adjust not only how much you use, but also when you use it.

Start Small

Peri-Peri is hot.

Start with less than you think you need.

Mix it thoroughly into your marinade, sauce or seasoning and taste where appropriate before adding more.

The objective is not simply maximum heat.

For a good peri-peri marinade, you still want to taste the:

Lemon
Garlic
Herbs
Smokiness
Chicken or seafood

The chilli should make everything more exciting — not make every other flavour disappear.

Try It This Way

For a simple peri-peri chicken marinade, combine:

Olive oil
Fresh lemon juice
Crushed garlic
Ground Peri-Peri Chilli
Paprika
Oregano
Salt

Marinate chicken thighs or drumsticks, then barbecue or roast until browned and cooked through.

Serve with salad, grilled corn or roasted potatoes.

Beyond Peri-Peri Chicken

Once you've opened the pack, try it in:

• Prawn marinades
• Fish rubs
• Chicken wings
• Pork marinades
• Cauliflower wings
• Spicy mayonnaise
• Yoghurt dips
• Barbecue sauces
• Rice dishes
• Stews
• Pizza
• Hot chips
• Popcorn
• Roasted nuts
• Avocado toast
• Homemade seasoning salts

If you like proper chilli heat, Peri-Peri gives you plenty of ways to take familiar food in a much hotter direction.

Handle with Care

Ground Peri-Peri Chilli is potent.

Avoid breathing in airborne chilli powder and take care not to touch your eyes or face while handling it.

Wash your hands after use.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark and dry place to help preserve its heat, aroma and colour.
