I created this keto recipe on the fly and I loved how easy and delicious it turned out. So here goes:

As though that wasn’t enough, I added my favourite Habanero tabasco sauce. This tabasco has the perfect balance of sweet, tangy, fruity and heat which will add complexity to the dish’s taste profile.

Additionally, intensify the flavour with garlic and piri piri powders.
