Due to the unpredictable introduction of chocolate as an ingredient, this barbeque sauce recipe makes a great hostess or thank you gift when jarred and presented with a packaged sampling of other chocolate treats such as truffles, cookies and even chocolate dipped fruit! Take a risk and try something new, your taste buds will thank you!
Ingredients:
1 Tsp butter (softened) - small Spanish Onion (diced) - 4 garlic cloves (minced) - 2 plum tomatoes (diced) - 14 ounces vegetable stock - 8 ounces store bought bbq sauce - 1 tsp cumin - 1.5 ounces dark brown sugar - 4 tsp Ancho Chile powder - 1 tsp cinnamon - 1 tsp fresh cilantro - 2 ounces high-quality dark chocolate (try to get the highest percentage of cocoa) - salt and pepper to taste
Melt your butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Saut both your onion and garlic for about five minutes or until the onions are golden brown in color.
Now, slowly add your tomatoes and continue to saut for five more minutes. Add your Chile powder and sugar to the sauted vegetables and stir frequently. Let this mixture simmer until it reaches a paste consistency.
Once the mixture has thickened, add your spices, vegetable stock and barbeque sauce and bring the pot to a boil. Reduce heat and let the pot simmer for about thirty minutes. Now for the main event! Add your chocolate and cilantro and continue to simmer the mixture for an additional five minutes.
Remove your sauce pan from the heat and let stand for at least ten or twelve minutes. Puree your sauce using a hand mixer or immersion blender and refrigerate for fifteen hours or more.
Chocolate Lovers Enjoy!
