My Favorite Recipes

This is such a wonderful and simple sauce from Bobby Flay. It is simple and keeps fairly well. Use this sauce with almost any fish or chicken. I know the habanero is a very hot pepper, but it also has a very floral character to it. It adds so much to the sauce. Substituting another pepper just wont do. The only substitution I would use is some chipotle puree. The heat and smokiness would compliment the sweetness, but you will have a different sauce.

Ingredients

• 2 Cups Orange Juice
• 1 Tbl Honey
• 1 Habanero, or a tsp of Chipotle puree
• 1/4 tsp Salt

Procedure

Put the orange juice and honey in a small sauce pan and place over medium high heat. If you want a hotter sauce, cut a slit into the habanero and place the pepper in the orange juice. Boil the OJ, honey and habanero until its reduced to about 1/2 cup. If the habanero is starting to hit the bottom of the pan, go ahead and remove it, as its done its job. Once reduced to your desired consistency, add the salt and enjoy.

Uses

This sauce has the classic Bobby Flay combination of fruit and hot chile. Spoon a small amount on a plate and place a piece of fish such as a sauteed tilapia, baked halibut, or broiled salmon. Serve with a vegetable side such as sauteed spinich or broccoli and enjoy.
