Nandos at home

[mismomary]

It's Friday night and I always plan an actual meal for us and the teens to actually sit down and eat. Doesn't happen the rest of the week for various reasons.

Tonight I am thinking of making a Nandos feast. I am not a regular at Nandos but I know the DC (2 x teens) love it. And I know its chicken, sides and salads. I have to shop for this at 3pm so only an hour.... what should I put in my feast? Grateful for any ideas.

Sainsbury’s do preseasoned piri piri chicken fillets. You could make spicy rice, corn on the cob or the mint chilli peas. Chips + you can buy peri salt

Coleslaw
corn on the cob
nandos hot sauce of course!
fries
wraps, maybe
a precooked roast chicken or legs from the hot counter

You can buy Nandos rubs and sauces in supermarkets. Don’t forget the peri salt for the chips.
Halloumi or garlic bread would probably be a popular side.

Chicken wings and a bottle of medium peri peri sauce to marinade them in. Peri peri salt and chips. Corn on the cob.

I'd probably make it really easy and just get a load of chicken drumsticks or a large whole chicken, I think you can purchase the actual nandos sauces in supermarkets can't you? Then I'd do some salad and some oven chips or make a load of potato wedges.
The corn on the cob sounds good too like PP said! I don't really know what else you'd get at nandos - maybe someone else will be along for the posh salad stuff!

Thank you so much - my shopping list has started!

With some piri piri chicken, chips, obviously the hot sauce, coleslaw and green salad.

My relative did a recipe thing on TikTok during covid about making a Nando's at home and got over 20,000 followers within a few days! It's probably still on there somewhere.

definitely making this - thanks!

Thanks all of you! This is how the feast is looking...

chicken wings with nandos hot sauce
chicken thighs with nandos mild sauce
chicken drumsticks plain but with nandos dipping sauces

spicy rice
sweet potato fries with peri salt
greek salad - leaves, feta, olives, toms, cucumber
coleslaw
garlic bread

Oh and also tenderstem brocolli and halloumii sticks and corn on the cob....

Room for a little one?!

Did you forget about Perinaise?! 😱

Well shopping done! High point for me was discovering that peri peri salt actually exists and is to be found at Booths.

Perinaise is a constant in our house. But I wasn't going to put it on the feast table.... to me it is excellent with toasties. But ok on the table it will go.

I could find wings but have drumsticks, thighs, and a couple of breasts. No red peppers either. Tsk. But bought something that looks vaguely similar and calls itself a 'sweet bite'.

I'm sure there's plenty to go round! Come on over!

Peri salt is the best. I think I’m addicted.

We do fake nandos.

We call it Fauxnandos. 😁

This is always served in our house with the song "Here is dinner, it's faux Nandos"! Silly but makes us laugh! I am addicted to peri salt too.

Too late for today but this recipe is the business. Known as fake Nandos in our house and super quick to mix up the marinade.

I either do it with chicken thighs or boneless chicken thighs.
We have it with chips, coleslaw, green salad and sometimes corn on the cob. In the summer it's fantastic on the barbecue too.

We love doing nandos at home.., we usually marinade some chicken in the garlic Nando’s sauce for a couple of hours. Cook up some halloumi as well and serve with wraps, lettuce, home made chilli jam (my friend mashes it For us) and spicy rice (a packet one, to keep things nice and easy!). We also pour the lemon and herb dressing on our plates as a dip. I wish I was having this right now!
