I have never been so disappointed in a recipe before. I guess the lack of a photo should have been my first clue.What a waste of my time - and some of my fresh hatch peppers!
Went plant base butter and macadamia nut milk. Sub honey for molasses, added most of a can of chopped Anaheim’s, added alaea salt. Still kinda bland but that’s ok to go with a pretty spicy meal to balance.
Added salt because, as the other notes mentioned, this recipe didn’t have any - Still turned out bland, with a weird tanginess from the orange zest. I made this recipe to go with some chili - it didn’t have the corn taste I was looking for.
