Notes

Add spice: If you like a bit of heat, mix in a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes.
Adjust consistency: For a thinner sauce, gradually add water by the teaspoon until you reach your desired consistency.
Boost flavor: For a smoky flavor, try adding a dash of smoked paprika or a few drops of liquid smoke.
