  • Serve sauce over grilled or crumbed chicken.
  • Great served over a grilled steak.
  • Grill sausages and either pour sauce over or cut cooked sausages into pieces and add to sauce.
  • For Mexican fish, flour and pan-fry snapper fillets. Serve sauce over the cooked fish.
  • For a Mexican-inspired cottage pie, brown 400g mince with the onions and garlic and continue as per recipe. Spoon into an ovenproof dish and top with creamy mashed potato. Sprinkle with grated cheese bake until potato is golden and filling hot.
