Yes, Scent leaf to the rescue.
Rustle up a quick chili sauce with kitchen staples.
I love discovering chili and herb sauces and this Ecuadorian sauce, Aji Criollo is no exception.
Serve with plantain chips, pies, rice, basically every and anything. Thank me later.

A delightful bright sauce of chili and herbs - a riff on a version which is an Ecudorian essential, made with cilantro and/or parsley.
