Notes
*If you're using water you will likely need to add more spices and salt to amp up the flavor. Taste and adjust accordingly.Make Ahead: You can make this up to a week ahead of time and store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Or, freeze for up to two months. The sauce will thicken the longer it sits, so thin it out with a little vegetable broth or water as necessary.
