Piri-piri is a fierce Portuguese marinade and basting sauce, made originally from the small hot chillies of the same name, grown in Portugal’s former African colonies. Grilled chicken is the more usual vehicle for piri-piri, but squid is the thing; though I would also recommend fresh tiger prawns and, if the occasion should arise, roast suckling pig. The squid should really be barbecued rather than grilled conventionally.
