Orange Soy Ancho Habanero Cocktail Sauce Recipes

ORANGE HABANERO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a saucepan over high heat, cook the orange juice and the habanero halves. Reduce the juice, stirring often, until about a cup remains. Remove from heat.
• Remove the habanero halves from the sauce.
• Add the honey to the sauce and stir until combined.
• Season to taste with salt.

SPICED ORANGE GINGER-SOY DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the sugar in a 4-quart heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until sugar is melted and light golden. Remove from heat and carefully add 1/2 cup water, avoiding splatters.
• Add ginger, shallot, garlic, lemon grass, scallions, cilantro, and habanero pepper. Stir well, and return to medium heat. Simmer until reduced to a thin glaze, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and add lime juice and orange juice. Add soy sauce to taste. Strain through a fine-meshed sieve, discarding solids. Serve at room temperature; may be refrigerated for up to one week.

ORANGE-SOY SAUCE REDUCTION

Steps:

• Bring the orange juice, soy sauce, chicken stock, and orange zest to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce has reduced to half of its original volume, about 30 minutes.
