For many years now, my Sunday night meal has been tortilla chips and picante sauce. The latter is not available in Kenya - or on the rare occasions it is at the supermarket, the price is way more than what I can afford.One evening we had dinner at my favorite restaurant in Nairobi - Sierra. The chef used to be a white guy from Zimbabwe. (He has since gone elsewhere.) Anyhow, whatever we ordered came with some delicious salsa. He graciously gave us the recipe*. Ever since then I have been able to enjoy chips and picante - until recently.
Red peppers, a vital part of the recipe, were not available at any vegetable store for the last couple of months. Over the weekend, I finally found some! (This batch cost about 40c.)
*As a joke, he skewed the amount of sugar in the recipe - way more than what was necessary. After all, he couldn't give us the recipe outright! So after a few tweaks, we got it right. The latest batch is the best yet!

So are you going to share the recipe? I'll share mine for yours!LOL
Be safe...
If I were a fast typist, I'd give it a go. But it would probably take me an hour to get it all down. Plus there are a lot of tweaks that aren't written down for me to even be able to type.
I wish I had time to put it out there for all to enjoy!
Sounds good. I love tortilla chips!!
I am curious WHERE the Sierra restaurant is? Never heard of it.
