  • 7 Thai red chilies, stems removed

  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced

  • 1/3 cup (78ml) white distilled vinegar

  • 4 teaspoons (10g) smoked paprika

  • 3/4 teaspoon (0.5g) dried oregano

  • 3/4 teaspoon (3g) ground white pepper

  • 8 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

  • 1 tablespoon (15g) light brown sugar

  • 1 bay leaf

  • 1 ½ tablespoons (18g) whisky, (optional)

  • Splash of water or lemon juice, if needed

  • Salt, to taste

  • 1-2 tablespoons (18g) honey, (optional)

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil

  • 3 cloves garlic


Peri Peri Chicken

  • 1 whole chicken, cut into 4 pieces (leg and thigh attached and breast and wing attached)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Peri peri sauce, for basting

  • Vegetable oil or cooking spray, for greasing grill

  • Perinaise, to serve

  • Grilled corn with peri peri compound butter

  • Peri peri compound butter garlic bread

  • Peri peri fries


INSTRUCTIONS


For The Peri Peri Sauce

  1. Place a wire rack over an open flame on your stovetop. Add the white onions and cook until charred on all sides. Transfer to a metal bowl and then add the bell peppers to the open flame. Cook the bell peppers on all sides until deeply charred all over. Transfer the peppers to the bowl as well, cover with plastic wrap and let steam for 10 minutes.

  2. Remove the root end of the onion and add to a blender. Remove the skin from the bell pepper by wiping away the char with a paper towel. Remove the stem and seeds as well and cut the pepper into large pieces. Add to the blender.

  3. In addition to the onion and pepper, add the Thai chilies, vinegar, paprika, oregano, white pepper and garlic to the blender. Blend on high speed until smooth.

  4. Pour the sauce into a saucepan over medium heat and stir in the brown sugar, bay leaf, and whisky. Increase the heat to medium high to bring to a boil.

  5. Remove the bay leaf and reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes to reduce the sauce.

  6. After the sauce has reduced, add back to the blender. Add a splash more of lemon juice or water to loosen the consistency slightly, season with salt to taste and add the honey. Blend on high speed to get as smooth of a sauce as possible.

  7. Once smooth, with the blender running, stream in the vegetable oil until combined. At the end of adding the oil add in the garlic cloves and blend another minute or so until smooth.

  8. Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a mixing bowl over an ice bath, and cool completely. Season with salt to taste.


For The Peri Peri Chicken

  1. Preheat the oven to 325℉ / 163℃.

  2. Cover a sheet tray with foil and top with a wire rack. Place the chicken pieces, skin side up, on the wire rack and season generously with salt. Lightly brush the chicken with the peri peri sauce.

  3. Bake for 45 - 50 minutes or until the internal temperature is 160℉ / 71℃.

  4. Light up your grill with one hot side and one cold side. Grease the grates with oil. Add the chicken to the hot side of the grill. Baste and flip the chicken pieces every 15 seconds or until the chicken is charred in spots and the sauce glazes the chicken all over.

  5. Serve immediately with the peri peri fries, garlic bread, grilled corn and perinaise.

That said, there has to be some consideration of price, and while the steel model is deeply in the mid-four-figure range, this rose gold example is considerably link more expensive, and I think that the price point will maintain this as a special but niche offering within the Carrera catalog. For the gold version of a commercially available steel watch, I'm ok with this reality (even if I link can't afford link it).

In all honesty, I've never been quite link sure how NFTs work. If you are less of a luddite than I, you can go to the FEPO In Space website, connect your digital wallet, and mint link your NFT entry into the raffle. Then all you have to do is sit back and hope the "First MoonSwatch in Space" touches down link in a package on your doorstep.

The jumpsuit link pictured here is billowy at the bottom link but form fitting up top – pillowy but still sexy. It's the perfect tonal canvas for a rich chocolate brown enamel Serpenti. The Misteriori is an extremely tactile watch. Its body begs to be uncoiled, its scales to be touched and then once again link wrapped carefully around the arm. It's a whole ceremonial process that can apply to clothing too; like the ruffling of taffeta or clicking of stiletto heels.
