Peri Peri rice is so versatile and a wonderful accompaniment for a barbeque or any grilled meat or fish, and salad.
In fact it is lovely stirred into a salad and can be eaten warm or cold. You can also jazz it up with shredded chicken, prawn, sweetcorn, olives or anything else you fancy! Use basmati or any long-grain rice.
