Pili Pili (or Piri Piri) is the Swahili name for chiles. In many places throughout sub-Saharan Africa, bird's eye chiles are either blended with salt, fat, acid and herbs, or oil is infused with bird's eye chiles and herbs and used for drizzling over vegetables, grains, and any other food to add some kick.
This is a produce and spice-driven variation on a Texas-style barbecue sauce featuring a treasured California summer crop. The zesty-sweet flavor of stone fruit brings dimension to the sauce, adding succulence and richness of flavor.
