Serving Suggestions

Note

• There is so much you could add to this basic sauce but it will be tasty as is when you are in a hurry.
• I have also used sautéed onions, basil, Italian seasoning and dried chilli in this recipe.
• Kids will really love this sauce if you add a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar. It takes on a great smoky barbecue flavour when you do this.
