Today we’re making Piri piri oil for our supperclub on Friday at Rafford Village Hall

I feel a bit like Nandos has ruined chicken piri piri (not that we dont like a cheeky Nandos now and then 😉) but Portuguese piri piri is more complex and delicious.

Our piri piri oil is an old recipe from the Algarve. We will start marinading the chicken in herbs, garlic, lemon and white wine vinegar the day before the meal. The piri piri oil will be served on the table so folks can add it to their taste.

We’re serving our chicken piri piri with our families favourite potato dish. Potatoes slow cooked in wine and tomato. It’s a total crowd pleaser!

Tickets are on sale for our next Supperclub!

Get yourself down to an evening filled with the authentic flavours of Portugal (Sabores de Portugal) at our next Supperclub.

Join us at our new venue Rafford Village hall on 25th October 2024 at 19:00 as we take you on a culinary journey inspired by travels in sunny Portugal.

3 courses cooked by Sally Morris who has family in the Algarve and has been visiting there for 30 years. Portuguese food is one of our favourites from around the world but is often overlooked for other Mediterranean cuisines. It has a beautiful simplicity and of course, the best custard tarts in the world!

We hosted this supperclub in 2015 in Bristol, it was featured in the Telegraph and people loved it. So we thought we’d kick off our next round of our supperclub series by bringing Portugal to Moray in October as our first one of the Winter.

Menu

Starter: Portuguese Couvert: Algarve Carrots, Pates de Peixe, clams, Olives, Cheese & Bread

Main: Chicken Piri Piri & Portguese Potatoes, Salad OR (Vegetarian Piri Piri)

Dessert: Portuguese Custard Tart with Port-Poached Seasonal Fruit

Calendula drying
Love this time of year as our hard work in the garden starts to pay off with lovely veg, herbs, fruits and flowers.
We use calendula as a medicine, drying the flowers to use in tea and also for healthy skin. It has great skin healing properties so we put it in the bath and in solutions to heal sore skin

Bruntlands vegbox 👏🏻

I was just unpacking this beaut and had to share a pic of it! We know Bruntlands Market Garden veg is great because we use it in our catering but we got a vegbox to eat at home this week and I’m glad we did. The veg is so fresh and at £14 for organic veg this is great value too

I love that there’s a couple of herbs in there too- perfect for making quick tasty meals 😋

I think they’ve got a couple of vegbox slots left or you can get their produce at the bakery in Findhorn

Also extra props to Mat and Amy for growing such gorgeous produce in this awful weather

27/06/2024

We have been using Bruntlands veg in our catering recently and it has all been fantastic. Super fresh and super tasty. If you’re looking for delicious veg you can get it straight from them starting next week with their vegboxes. Check out their site and sign up now
