bay leaf, beef broth, dark chocolate, dry red wine, Garlic, ketchup, olive oil, Ruby port, Shallots, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce

This is a sauce for steak.  It’s particularly delicious with bleu cheese.  It’s a gorgeous.  Its rich, almost creamy mouth-feel, makes for a complex flavor.  But, it isn’t complicated to make.  And it’s best when made ahead and it reheats very well.  Perfect for entertaining.  Your guests will feel pampered.

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is img_6896.jpgWe had a lovely meal at the Peruvian restaurant, Para Dos, in Coral Gables.  It was delicious, but the highlight was the Papas a la Huancaína.  When I tell you this sauce is to die for, I’m not kidding.  You’ll want to eat this by the bowlful, keeping it all for yourself.  Continue reading →

Tags

cayenne pepper, cornstarch, half and half, heavy cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, tarragon, whole egg, whole milk

No, you didn’t misread that.  This is “almost” hollandaise sauce.  It looks like it.  It tastes like it…so what’s the deal?  Well, no butter!  Yes!  Now you’re asking, why, for the love of all that’s holy in the kitchen, wouldn’t you want butter in a hollandaise sauce?  Let’s face it, hollandaise has to be made last minute…it really does.  It doesn’t reheat well and it’s a bit on the rich side, right?  This has all the really good properties of a real-deal hollandaise sauce, but without the drawbacks…and you can have more without feeling like over-stuffed!

ginger root, ketchup, Mango, orange juice, Peaches, Peppers, red onion, Spices, Tomatoes, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce

This isn’t exactly a chutney.  It’s really a cross between a chutney and a relish.  It’s sweet and sour.  It’s fruity, but with a hit of savory because of the Worcestershire and vinegar.  You know, it really doesn’t matter what we call it.  What matters is that it’s delicious!  Continue reading →
