Author Notes
This delightful side should be just that- always by your side. I have a jar of it in my fridge at all times, and am constantly surprising myself with how well the deep aromatic spices of the sweet chilli, harmonise with anything and everything.
This beautiful sauce is ridiculously easy to whip up for last minute pop-ins and impromptu barbecues, or simply a fine accompaniment to ones morning eggs. For a Sweet Chili that packs an extra punch, leave the chill seeds in. Free from nasty refined sugars, gluten and dairy, but certainly not free from taste. —Sandra Ramacher
