Rhubarb BBQ Sauce

Rhubarb BBQ Sauce

Author’s Note – Adding just a bit of oil to this recipe made it closer to the viscosity of Italian sauces using olive oil. I used Virgin Coconut Oil which lent to the sweetness of the fruits in this recipe without tasting “coco-nutty.”

Coconut, Cannellini Bean Sauce

Coconut, Cannellini Bean Sauce

Coconut, Cannellini Bean Sauce

Servings: 4
Preparation Time: 20 to 30 minutes

Directions:

Puree the cannellini beans with liquid in a food processor. Add in coconut oil, Coconut Cream Concentrate, garlic, and broth and pulse food processor several times to blend.

Transfer to a saucepan. Stir in parsley, salt, and pepper. Heat over medium heat until sauce thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve over pasta or vegetables.

I also use this sauce to “smother” pork chops or boneless chicken breasts. Instead of heating the sauce on the stove, I pour it on the meat that has been pan seared and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Also, instead of garlic and parsley, you could use nutmeg and cinnamon for a different tasting sauce—kind of like moussaka.
