Everyone has their favourite side when they go to Nando’s, for some it maybe peri peri chips or the garlic bread, but for us it is spicy rice and macho peas. They are some of the best peas that I have ever tasted and because I can’t afford to go to Nando’s every single night I decided to try and recreate them. I also let a man in a cardigan do the voice over.
Here we go!
