Perhaps you have figured this out by now, but we love a big hunk of roasted meat around here. So we get pretty excited when barbeques season finally arrives. Here in Michigan, it lasts for about 5 minutes, so we take full advantage. I came up with this dipping sauce a few years ago and we fell madly in love. The charred vegetables give it a smoky flavor that is so addictive! This sauce is great on any kind of meat or fish. I particularly love it on kabobs. Mmmmm kabobs….
Sugar Free Roasted Dipping Sauce
3/4 lb cherry tomatoes
8 cloves garlic
6 chile peppers, stemmed ( we like Serrano or jalapeno)
2 shallots, halved
1/2 red pepper, seeded
1/4 cup fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp fish sauce
1/4 tsp kosher or sea salt
- Place vegetables (tomato, garlic, chiles, shallots and peppers) on hot barbecue grill (or broiler) for 8 -10 minutes until blackened and charred.
- Place garlic, chiles, shallots and peppers in food processor.
- Pulse until chunky
- Add tomatoes, pulse until incorporated, but not pureed
- Stir in cilantro, fish sauce and salt.
Serve warm or cold alongside your favorite barbecued meat. This is a very versatile sauce. We have used it with grilled steak, pork loin, kabobs, shrimp, bass, trout, and chicken. It is also great served with any Mexican dish!
