Take two for the vegetarian cooking! I decided to try this recipe because, honestly? It was colorful. Yes, it's that easy to get me to cook--it just has to be colorful. Total prep time? About an hour. I honestly thought it would be more difficult to find all the ingredients, but it was easier than I thought. But who would have known chili garlic sauce is a common thing to have at Stop and Shop?
Speaking of chili garlic sauce. Fair warning: it is deadly! Stupidly, I realized I was not putting the other ingredients in the mix in the proportions called for on the recipe. So, being me, I said, "You know what's a good idea? Adding more chili garlic sauce! It can't be that bad."
Wrong. Very wrong. This stuff is potent and usable in small doses. It's like someone took all the capsaicin from a hundred jalapenos and put it in this inconspicuous looking jar.
The final product is worth it. The combination of mint, chili, pineapple... well, lets just say the mix works and is really filling. (I blame the spiciness.)
