What is Nando’s Macho peas?

This is a side that goes well with almost everything. That’s why everytime I got a takeaway from Nando this Nando’s Macho Peas never missed from my order. However, since I don’t have any Nando’s on my beautiful island I have come up with this recipe so that I won’t miss the real one. Does it make sense?

Even if I lived 10 minutes away from the restaurant, I still won’t get a take away everytime I feel like nibbling the peri peri chicken, the chips or the peas! 10 minutes is all what it takes to prepare this AMAZING and easy dish.
