As many of us find ourselves cooking at home instead of dining out, we’re sharing recipes from some of Toronto’s top chefs and restaurants.
Who can resist the zing of a really good jalapeño sauce? Answer: nobody. Enter the founder of Ossington’s BFF (Burgers n’ Fries Forever), Jamil Bhuya, for a quick and easy recipe to bring the aroma of jalapeños into your home.
“I love this sauce because it requires so few ingredients. It tastes incredibly fresh yet creamy. It’s such a surprise since you would assume there is mayo in it to achieve that texture,” says Bhuya. “I could eat this sauce with fries all day!”
