Nandos is a restaurant that started in South Africa ( I think) & we recently, about 1 year ago, had one of these restaurants open here in Edmonton. We stood in line for a very long time to get in the first time we went. The food is good & they have a fantastic pop machine! So when I saw Nando’s PERI-PERI sauce at Costco, I had to buy it.

You can grill the vegetables or roast them before putting this dish together so it is pretty flexible. Easily adapted to be vegan…just leave out the Parmesan topping.
