Notes

The sauce is at its best hot, that is why I highly recommend serving it as soon as it's ready. The flavours are a lot more intense than when it cools down.
Plus, it's ready in well under 10 minutes, so it's worth making it just before it is time to serve it. As long as everything else is ready, the dip won't take long at all.
