Chunky Cajun Peach Sauce

Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

For the sauce

  • 30 oz of frozen peach slices, thawed. If you have to use canned slices, drain and rinse them.
  • 2 Tbl of maple syrup
  • 2 tsp of Cajun seasoning (no sugar)
  • a grating of sea salt
  • 1 roasted red pepper, chopped (You can buy these in a jar. Just rinse well and cut it up.)
  • ½ of a Vidalia onion, sliced
  • 3 Tbl of fresh basil chopped

Instructions:

Spray your grill pan (or a sauté pan if you don’t have a grill pan) with olive oil spray. Heat. In a bowl add the peach slices, maple syrup, Cajun season and the sea salt. Toss to coat the peaches. When the pan is hot put in the peaches and grill them until you start to get grill marks and they are all heated. This won’t take more than a couple of minutes. Don’t move them around too much or they will all fall apart. Don’t fret is some do fall apart.

Remove peaches to a medium bowl.

Spray the pan again and add the Vidalia onion slices. Pour in a little water just to loosen the bits of Cajun seasoning on the bottom. Stir that all up so the onions get coated and just cooked through. Add the onions and the red pepper bits to the peaches reserved in the bowl. Stir in the basil. You now have your sauce. You can reheat this to serve or you can serve it room temp or cold. Just depends on the time of year you make it. In the summer it would be great cold.

 

Serve with your favorite protein. I serve this sauce with pork chops and pile the peach sauce on top. The peach sauce recipe makes quite a bit so you might end up with a bit of leftovers. I had plenty for five people.

Enjoy!
