Rinse and drain the chicken livers. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until just golden, then add the chillies and stir to combine.
Remove from the heat, pour half the oil mixture into a bowl and set aside for serving.
Return the saucepan to a low heat and add half the peri-peri sauce and the yoghurt or cream. Bring to a simmer. Taste to see if you would like more peri- peri sauce. Season to taste, add a squeeze of lemon juice and remove from the heat.
Heat some oil in a pan and fry the livers in batches for 1–2 minutes on each side, then stir through the peri-peri sauce.
Serve with warmed Portuguese rolls and a drizzle of the reserved garlic-and- paprika oil.
Cook’s note: Nothing beats the comfort of a crusty, buttered Portuguese roll topped with hot- from-the-pan peri-peri chicken livers. These are super-fast, so don’t overcook them – just sear quickly as they will continue cooking in the hot sauce.
