Great Recipe! I have given this 4 stars at the moment but would willingly upgrade it to 5 when I can get the consistancy of the sauce fine tuned to our personal prefence. I like a thicker, fuller sauce so would like to experiment a little by using a stick blender on the tomato or adding tomato puree. I was sent a 283g (10 oz) can of RO*TEL diced tomatoes & green chilies by an other Zaar mamber in a swap package, and added these instead of the jalapeno peppers and it was hot, as in zingy, tangy, spicy but not so much fire that a wimp like me unaccustomed to eating chilies couldn't handle it. The coriander (cilantro) is a MUST... I had some that needed using up and so used half a handful of fresh and the taste came though refreshingly after the first heat of the peppers subsided. A Definiate make again recipe that we enjoyed and will experiment with.. please see my rating system: a fabulous 4 stars with huge potential for 5 after some very very minor tweeks. We love this.. Thanks!
