My husband went on a business trip to Atlanta last summer, and brought me home a bottle of "Peach Grilling Sauce" that he found in a local market. I was excited to use it and decided to make a yummy dinner a few nights later. Well, when I opened the bottle and tasted it, it was SPICY!! Mama Mia! I am not a spicy-foods eater, so I had to figure out a way to make it palatable for me. Enter Greek Yogurt, vanilla flavor. My favorite way to tone done heat in Mexican food is with sour cream, so I figured the greek yogurt would be a good counterpoint to the spice in the sauce.
Funny story about this picture. I didn't serve it up that night to look like this. But sadly, my husband called me about 10 minutes before I expected him home, and informed me that he had been called out on an emergency situation for work. Darn it. So, I made a plate for him to have when he arrived home hours later. I thought he's appreciate a good looking plate of food, showcasing the gift he brought him for me. I have to admit, when I plated it up I thought..."I really should take a picture of that!" And so I did. Now that I'm blogging, I'm grateful to have done so.
Most of the time when I am cooking I don't use recipes. I just go for it. So going back in my "taste memory" I am now re-creating for you the dish I made that night. Of course using the original sauce from Atlanta that I used is going to be impossible for most everyone to acquire, so I am suggesting using any sort of spicy grilling/marinating sauce that you can find. If you have to, peach preserves could be used, diluted half with water, and spiced up with Red Pepper Flakes.
