For an extra layer of flavor, toast the macadamia nuts lightly in a dry skillet before processing. A squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice after cooking brightens the flavors of the dish. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and healthy meal. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also be added for extra heat.
