Piri Piri Very Hot!!!!!

This afternoon I busied myself making a staple of the Portuguese store cupboard - home made Piri Piri paste.
It´s most frequent use is as a marinade, baste or paste for Frango piri piri. It is ideal for roasted grilled or barbecued meats, and gives the cooked meat a rich red mottled finish.
It is plentiful on supermarket shelves but so rewarding when you make it yourself. My version is not so traditional but still comes out a bright jungle red,with a texture like a hot ketchup packed with punch.
