That only one teaspoon of sambal could make this so hot! At first I thought that 12 servings was way too much for the amount of sauce but when I tasted it I realized that one tablespoon per serving would be enough, otherwise it would be too hot. As it is the sauce is perfect for just a touch of spicyness on the pasta, fish or burgers or whatever you want to use it for. The second time I made the sauce I decided to mellow the spicyness. OK, I could have left out the sambal as suggested but I wanted to try another thing. Had some creme fraiche left in the fridge and decided to use that. The amount used was about 3/4 cup. Added this at the end of the cooking and just heated it through. Now the sauce was mellowed and with a very nice taste, just spicy enough. Used it as a pasta sauce. With this addition I got 3 servings out of the recipe (when it is not so hot you can use more than one tablespoon.....) It freezes well and I found that adding a handful of sliced mushrooms to one serving was a good idea. I know I have changed the original recipe but the original is very good for playing around with! Thanks for posting.
