This isn’t like any barbecue sauce Bubba used to make. Not with ingredients like cardamom, coffee, and hoisin sauce. The recipe comes from chef Jake, my stepson, who likes to serve it with grilled grouper and rich meats like pork and lamb at his smashing new restaurant, JADA, located in South Miami.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, medium, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper, medium, stemmed, seeded and finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, fresh, minced
1 1/2 cups coffee, brewed Turkish, or espresso
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons cardamon, ground
2 tablespoons honey, or more to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1. Heat the oil in a large nonreactive saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, garlic, and ginger and sauté until the vegetables are softened but not brown, about 5 minutes. Add the coffee, hoisin sauce, vinegar, cocoa powder, and cardamom. Increase the heat and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently, uncovered, until thick and richly flavored, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. If the sauce seems too thick, add a little water. Purée the sauce in a blender, adding 2 tablespoons honey to give the sauce sheen. Taste for seasoning, adding salt, black pepper and honey as necessary.
3. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm or at room temperature. The sauce will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for several weeks.
