Yum. Yum. Because I did not even have time to make the rice, I used a box of Marrakesh couscous--mango salsa flavor. Gave everything a little kick and was fun to eat. Thank you, Amy!

Next time I would reduce the sugar, but otherwise it was pretty good. In the end I am not sure that this was any better than a bottle, but if you don't have a bottle of sauce this was a fine substitute and really easy to make. There is the additional advantage of being able to take some of the sauce out before you add the pepper flakes if you have someone in your house who does not like "spicy things" (ugh, 7 year olds can be sooooo picky!)

I will let you know how it works!
