Notes

Adapted from recipe in EDC November 2013 issue
The “heat” for the sauce can be controlled by the amount of chilli you use and whether you decide to include the seeds. I suggest you use 4 chillies the first time you make it, and if you find you like it hotter, use 6 next time. Personally I always include the seeds … very tasty!
The sauce will keep for at least a month in the fridge, but we have usually consumed it in that time so it may keep longer.
