What you’ll need

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1 clove garlic (minced)

2 shallots (minced)

.5 oz. semisweet chocolate (chopped)

6 oz (3/4 cup) tomato paste

2 tablespoons packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

Pinch of cayenne

Makes about 1 cup

In a mixing bowl, combine the chocolate, tomato paste, sugar, honey, vinegar, cocoa, Worcestershire, mustard, chili powder, cayenne, and salt and pepper, and set aside. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic clove and shallots and cook them in the butter into they turn soft, about 2-4 minutes. Add the chocolate mixture and stir to combine with the onion and shallots. Allow the mixture to thicken for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add the sauce to the dish of your choice. Our personal suggestion is to use this yummy chocolate-infused BBQ sauce with pulled pork sandwiches.

If you top your chocolate-infused pulled pork sandwich with our Mexican coleslaw, you’ll have yourself a unique, mouth-watering pulled pork sandwich. It’s a summer must-try.

The sauce will store for 1 week if kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Enjoy!
