Chefs Tip
Wash hands thoroughly whenever handling chillies. The chemicals within are very irritable and will cause discomfort if in contact with eyes or sensitive skin. 

Don’t be scared of the amount of chilli in this dish, it’s delicious! Any sauce left can be simmered for 15 minutes to reduce and then use as a sweet chilli dipping sauce. This will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
