I followed the recipe exactly and behaves like a recipe. I used mushrooms as I am not a big fan of Pisco. But I found the right amount of it and used peanut oil instead of spray canola. I think that's a plus for a colander. I used a couple of tbsps of Lemongrass and it tasted AWESOME! The taste is not strong but still good. The amount of liquid is perfect! I added about 20g more than the recipe calls for and a lil less stock to make it a small bit thicker (my personal taste) and sweeter. I used this to make "Chuckanut Butter Quesadillas" for a dinner and they were inhaled by family and friends. Been making these for over 30 yrs. Professionals and OJ's alike.
