While cooking at my friend Paula's house I discovered something ridiculously yummy and different. It is a sauce that kind of comes out like a chutney. I had huge pork chops and I wanted a sauce with fruit that was kind of Asian in flavor. I made a last minute decision at the grocery store and here is what I ended up with...
a bag of fresh cherries
a small tub of blue cheese crumbles
a jar of hoisin sauce
a jar of asian chili sauce
Let the experiment begin...
Paula was an angel and broke up/pitted all the cherries for me. I then chopped them up and threw them into hot pan with a couple pinches of brown sugar she had layin' around. The sugar step was improv and I don't think it was really that necessary. Then I added 2 small spoons of chili sauce (you be the judge of how hot you like it, aka how big of a baby you are). Sautee this all together until it starts cooking down and then lower the heat just a little and added in 2 small spoons of hoisin sauce and half the tub of blue cheese crumbles. Cooked this mixture while stirring constantly until all the blue cheese was melted. Voila! Nutso Crazy Spicy Asian Cherry Blue Chutney Sauce Whatever... that's the official name.
It was delicious on pork chops and I imagine would also be on steak. You could even put it on a chicken or turkey breast while you baked it in the oven. Mmmmm.... Or maybe stuff a tenderloin with it. Oh hell, bathe in it for all I care (but eat some while you do).
Smooches,
