Nando’s wild herb Peri-peri sauce is like crack for food

Posted on February 13th, 2009 by Richard Catto 2,558 views

One of my favourite quick simple meals is smoked peppered chicken fillets and cheese on a fresh bun and to make it interesting, adding an exciting sauce really makes the meal.

The other day, as I was browsing the sauce racks at my local SPAR supermarket, I noticed that they carried the full range of Nando’s Peri-peri sauces and I decided to get their wild herb variant and try it out.

Well, it’s a total hit. It’s so good, it’s like eating Nando’s takeout except at home for a fraction of the cost.

To make this meal yourself, here’s how you prepare it:

Ingredients

A fresh bun (or roll as we call them here in South Africa). I usually buy a french roll or a portuguese roll, but an ordinary hamburger roll will also work.

Real butter

Cheese. I use Gouda.

Smoked peppered chicken fillets

Nando’s wild herb Peri-peri sauce

Method

Slice open the roll. Slice some butter and layer it on the bottom half of the roll. Slice a smoked peppered chicken fillet and layer it over the butter slices, so that the chicken pieces overlap each other. Liberally pour on the Nando’s Peri-peri sauce. Top with cheese. Microwave it to melt the cheese.

Enjoy!

It’s a magic meal and really filling. You’ll probably want to make more than one roll at a time, because you’ll definitely want more. I love this snack so much, I could eat myself into a coma!

   @fixator: You’re welcome.

   And to visitors outside of South Africa, it is possible to order this sauce online if your grocery store does not carry this product.

   Nando’s restaurants are represented in the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Namibia.

   @Refiloe: This snack is still something I make on a weekly basis for myself.

   I now buy the 250ml bottles for about R18 at Checkers, which works out much cheaper than buying the 125ml bottles.

   If they had 500ml or even a litre bottle, I would grab it.

   What would also work for me is a nifty sauce dispenser where you screw in a bottle and hit a button to pour the sauce on. Yeah!

   I’ve also tried the Mediterranean Nando’s peri-peri sauce which is a much milder tomatoey sauce.

   Currently I’m enjoying the extra hot Nando’s peri-peri, but the Wild Herb is still my favourite.
