Orange-Soy-Ancho-Habanero Cocktail Sauce - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup crushed pineapple
1/2 cup orange preserves
1/4 cup red onion, chopped
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 garlic clove
1/2 habanero pepper, cleaned and minced
1 tablespoon ancho chili pepper, cleaned and minced
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon honey
2 tablespoons cilantro, chopped
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
Preparation
-
Place all ingredients except cilantro into a sauce pot. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat to simmer. Cook on a low simmer for about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat, and sit until cool enough to puree with a blender or a hand-held blender. Puree to your desired consistency.
Stir in cilantro. Serve cold with shrimp or any other seafood cocktail or a chicken dish.
The two different peppers give a variety of heat styles -- a little in the front and some in the back. Feel free to add more or less than the recipe calls for. This one was about a 2.5 out of 5 on my heat scale.
