UPDATE:
OUR LOCAL PITTSBURGH DELIVERY SERVICE IS ON HIATUS INDEFINITELY DUE TO MY DAUGHTER’S FULL RECOVERY FROM ELBOW SURGERY; TARA IS OUR SAVORY CHEF AND ALSO ASSISTS ME WITH BAKING.
IN THE MEANTIME, MY E-BOOK, SUGAR-FREE SWEETS, IS NOW AVAILABLE HERE ON MY WEBSITE!
African Bird’s Eye Chili (aka “Peri-Peri”)
Did you know hot and spicy foods can lower blood glucose levels as well as high blood pressure?
Peri-peri chicken is a fiery, smoky and zesty specialty with origins in Southern Africa and Portugal.
The dish is said (and hotly debated) to have been created in Mozambique and/or Angola when Portuguese traders arrived to their colonies with chili peppers from the Americas—known as piri-piri / peri-peri, or “pepper-pepper,” in Swahili—in the 16th century.
Look at this amazing peri-peri chicken my daughter Tara made for dinner! It’s now my absolute favorite chicken dish. Incredibly flavorful.
LOCAL PITTSBURGH DELIVERY
www.TaraPeriChicken.com is our award-winning food delivery subsidiary, managed by my daughter, Chef Tara Jones.
Like Nando’s, our peri-peri chicken is made with authentic, organic, non-GMO African bird’s eye chilis that are grown on sustainable farms and hand-harvested. Tara’s pastéis de nata (Portuguese custard tartlets – including sugar-free!) are wholly authentic and handmade.
This heritage restaurant concept is unique and adored by many who enjoy global and familiar flavors. Tara-Peri Chicken has won a Restaurant Guru award for excellence and has been featured in Voyage L.A.’s magazine, Voyage Ohio; our restaurant reviews are outstanding as well.
As mentioned, our local delivery is on an indefinite hiatus as Tara recovers from elbow surgery. So, we are not currently delivering peri-peri chicken or my sugar-free pastries and desserts in Pittsburgh, but we anticipate returning to serving you locally in the future.
We know how much we are appreciated!
