Like Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan, piri piri originates in Portugal. Unlike them, piri piri seasoning is delicious and not at all dead. It lives deliciously mixed with healthy ground turkey, tomatoes, and onion, filling fresh poblanos with mighty flavor. Some Portuguese get straits named after them; this Portuguese seasoning gives you straight sensory delight.
