This Spicy Coco Sauce recipe is amazing and goes great with grains, cauliflower rice, roasted vegetables, and more! It keeps for about a week so feel free to experiment with it in different meals. The first time I tried it was at my sister-in-law’s house, where she mixed it in with some roasted vegetables she cooked that night. Surprised by the flavor I knew immediately I had to have the recipe and share it with others. Enjoy!
