Drizzle on steamed fish or serve alongside roasted chicken, grilled pork skewers or duck.

COOK’S TIP: Keep the blueberry chilli sauce in the fridge for up to a month. If you want to give it a Thai twist, just add the juice of 1–2 limes and a handful
of fresh coriander leaves.

Ingredients

Method

1.

Put garlic and salt in a large mortar and pestle. Pound to form a paste. Add all chillies and pound again to a rough paste. (You can also do this in a food processor).

2.

Tip garlic mixture into a medium saucepan along with caster sugar, red wine vinegar, celery seeds, white pepper, eschalots, cinnamon sticks and blueberries.

3.

Put pan over a medium heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes or until sauce starts to thicken just a little. The volume will reduce considerably. Don’t let it go too far or it will be too thick. Add fish sauce and simmer for 1 minute. Discard cinnamon sticks. Pour into a clean jar and set aside to cool. Serve.
