Still on vacation here. Still snowed in. What to do? Cook, of course.
This recipe might sound time consuming to most of you, but that's just because you don't live in South Africa. In South Africa, Peri-Peri sauce and seasoning is readily available, there's even a chicken chain that only does Peri-Peri (oh Nando's, move to America!). Making this sauce takes some work, but it is so worth it. Make a whole bunch and freeze some for later.
Peri-Peri Sauce
5 red peppers, roasted, sliced
2 red chilies, diced
2 tsp paprika
1/4 cup lemon juice
4 cloves garlic
5 tbsp cider vinegar
3 tsp. tabasco
Put all the ingredients into a blender. Blend to a paste.

1 whole chicken, quartered
8 yukon gold potatoes
2 onions, diced
1 c. red wine ( don't cook with a wine you wouldn't drink... :)

kosher salt
pepper
1. peel and chop potatoes. toss in olive oil, salt, pepper and parsley. put in bottom of large corning dish.
