  • Very delicious condiment and stored for a long time in the fridge. We had it with meat and veggies. It's probably ok to increase the flavouring like salt and vinegar so it's more pronounced, and not just only the chile flavour.

  • This is really delicious. . Forget the veggies. I'm going to drizzle this over blackened shrimp races tonight. I made it exactly as is. Love the smoked paprika with the chile's.
