This is a recipe Winston and Sherri made for us. We tried to use it at our wedding, but in the large quantity it didn't thicken properly, so don't try that 🙂 Serve over basmati or jasmine rice with a squeeze of lime and chopped fresh coriander leaves. The sauce can be prepared well ahead and refrigerated.
