Mozambican espetada

Portuguese and Madeiran settlers left Mozambique a beachside espetada habit: cubes of beef or whole prawns skewered, basted with garlicky piri-piri butter and grilled over coals at Maputo and Tofo beach bars.

Whatever leftover meat was thrown into the fiery sauce and simmered until tender. The heat of the sauce plus the heaviness of the meat were considered the food to eat to sober up. Now, trinchado is served as a main course(either beef, chicken, or fish), always with a crusty Portuguese roll to
