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.

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