I had to wait a few days, because I tried both the Coconut Finadene and the Lemon Finadene sauces. I tried the Coconut one the other day on chicken and it was really good, because it added so much flavour, especially if the chicken breasts are barbequed! I used the Lemon one today on my beef goulash and that worked very well, as well. If you use the Lemon sauce on both the beef and the potatoes, it makes for a very nice combination!Reply
