Chef's Tips
For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to puree it slightly after cooking.
The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The flavors will meld even more over time.
Add a splash of orange liqueur or a tablespoon of chopped fresh cilantro for extra flavor.
