Spicy cherry sauce for meat: how to make at home
Cherries are not only a sweet filling for pies or dumplings, but also a great base for making a savory sauce. The berry is very juicy and has a natural sourness. With this addition, the meat becomes very flavorful and has a pleasant taste.
The idea of making a spicy cherry sauce for meat was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Svitlana Levytska (lanas_diet).
Ingredients:
- drilled cherries - 400 g
- grated ginger (you can add dried on the tip of a knife) - 1 tsp
- anise - 1 pc
- cinnamon - 1/3 of a stick (the less you like cinnamon, the less you should use, but at least give a drop, because it creates an unsurpassed spicy note)
- red wine - 60 ml
- soy sauce - 1 tbsp
- starch - 1 tsp
- lemon juice - 1/3
- sugar per 100 g - 1 tbsp
- for every 500 g of cherries - 5 ml of vinegar
Method of preparation:
1. Put the cherries without juice in a saucepan, set aside the juice.
2. Add all ingredients except starch.
3. Cook for about 15 minutes.
4. Remove the spices; if you like a rich spicy flavor, you can keep them until the very end of cooking.
5. Take out some of the cherries (choose the number at your discretion – this is how many cherries will remain intact).
6. Dissolve the starch in the cherry juice, pour into a saucepan, cook until thick, and beat the whole mass with a blender.
7. Return the whole cherries and cook for a few more minutes.
