Hi Angie, You can adapt and make it as mellow or spicy as you with by swopping out the Nandos Sauce (Mozambique) to any sauce of your choice. These listed does come in different spicy-strength. I for one am not a spicy person, so I tend to swop this for something like BBQ sauce.
I have never heard of this before but it looks so yummy!
