This sauce is one my Late Mum made every other Saturday with very soft boiled yam (you know, Saturday morning meals are always on point..lol). This is one sauce I can never get tired of eating because it's tasty, healthy and really easy to make.
I hope you try it out and enjoy it even better than I do.
Bon Appétit!
