Notes

Here are some tips that can help you to get the best out of your Blue Parrot sauce recipe.
  • Allow the sauce to simmer for 45 minutes. The flavors will meld better, and the sauce will get a richer taste.
  • If you want a chunkier sauce, don't blend. But if you want a smoother consistency, blend the sauce after cooking in an immersion blender.
  • You can refrigerate the sauce for 5 days. But for long-term use, freeze it. It's okay to freeze the sauce for up to 3 months.
  • If you are a vegetarian, don't use pork. Use sautéed mushrooms or bell peppers instead.
  • Reheat the sauce over medium flame. Let it simmer and stir the sauce occasionally until the consistency remains perfect.
