This is a beautiful dish and has a lovely combinations of flavors, but watch out for the kick! I wish I had read the review by Sharon123 before I made this recipe! My instinct was to reduce the pepper sauce, but I write code for a living so I followed the recipe to the letter. Next time, I will cut the pepper sauce by 2/3.
