Chicken Peri Peri

Chicken Peri Peri

Date: 2015-08-14
South Africa commemorates Women's Month in August as a tribute to the more than 20 000 women who marched to the Union Buildings on 9 August 1956 in protest against the extension of Pass Laws to women. The Government of South Africa declared August women's month and 9 August is celebrated annually as Women's Day. August is about celebrating the women in all of us .

One of my ideas was to pick recipes from women who have influenced my food life -- maybe a recipe from my mother or my grandma, or perhaps favorite foods of women who have made history. When researching favourite food of women who have made history it is so humbling to note that the cuisine chosen is quite simple from Michelle Obama who loves pizza and fries to Helen Zille who says street food especially a Cape Town Gatsby is one of her favourites. So throughout August I shall be sharing special simple recipes by women that have influenced my career in food. These women shaped my course in life and I am eternally grateful. Lets begin with my mom.

Mom makes the most delicious chicken peri peri. A mixture of chicken coated with spice, flash fried and then baked in the oven covered with tomato and potato slices. So Chicken Peri Peri is our dish of the week.

From My Heart to Yours

Happy Cooking
