Cooking need not be a boring chore. It could be fun, entertaining and satisfying. In my case, it has been very therapeutic, dissolving away the stress built up at work. You shouldn’t have to compromise on taste to eat healthy or vice versa. Have your pie and eat it too.
The sauce contains salt, oil and everything else you need. No need to add anything else. If want to make it a little milder, add a tablespoon of heavy cream, buttermilk or yogurt. To make it hotter, add ½ a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, black pepper or red chili powder.
Tip:
Although we recommend 1 lb of meat, seafood or veggies, you may add a little more. About 1 ¼ lb would be perfect.
The possibilities are truly endless. Here are just a few ideas. If you have any, please feel free to share it with us. We would love to hear back from you.
