piri piri — Housewife's Whimsy

I saw a recipe for Piri Piri Pork on Jamie Oliver’s website. However the original recipe calls for 2.5 hours of baking time and there is no way I had so much time to cook! (Can I get an “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”) I decided to adapt the recipe to work in the crockpot so it could get all the cooking and I wouldn’t have to do much of anything!

Alex and I have never had piri piri sauce on anything. We weren’t huge fans of the taste. The basis for a piri piri sauce is Middle Eastern, we don’t typically enjoy that type of food. I found the sauce to be a little bit on the spicy side, and Alex found it not spicy enough. So it’s probably a “normal” person’s spicy level. If you are worried about how spicy it might be, simply use a pepper lower in capsaicin and leave out the cayenne seasoning.

The amount of sauce in this recipe is perfect for a larger amount of pork. If you are only going to be making 1lb of pork you should halve the sauce recipe. This will give you a better meat to sauce ratio. I used an Anaheim pepper when making this since it was all my local grocery had. This recipe is gluten free when served over a bed of rice or gf pasta. If you don’t need to eat gluten free you could serve it with bowtie pasta or a crusty bread.
