An easy and very delicious side dish, or if you are cooking up a feast, an important part of the meal, the veggies! We love this sauce SO much.

I am on a bit of a spicy kick at the moment, so luck would have it (for you!) I think it is because I am really missing travelling and so to fill the foodie gap, we have been experimenting with all sorts of dishes, packed with absolutely tons of flavour, such as this one.

I think even if you don't like Brussels sprouts, you may like this one, so don't be shy, get steaming!
