Quick Pantry Sauces for Tarting up Meat and/or Fish

[MylesBAstor]

Artichoke Bliss

1-4 oz. jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1-3 Tbsp. Chicken broth

Combine ingredients in blender or food processor until smooth. Jazz it up with some diced red peppers, scallions or diced red onion. Probably best over chicken.

I prefer to see women tarted up vice my food.

[Johnny Vinyl]

2 TBS Dijon Mustard or perhaps a Grain Mustard.
1 tsp Crushed garlic (2 cloves?)
1 TBS Olive Oil
White Wine to thin (if needed) or to taste.
S&P to taste

You want a paste, so not too thin or runny. Play with the ingredients as this is just a guideline.

Nice dressing for BBQ Salmon Steaks.

I do something very similar.

Quick BBQ sauce;

3/4 cup Ketchup
2 Tb Brown sugar
1 Tb Vinegar
1 Tb Worcester or honey depending on what you like
2 tsp paprika

Proportions can be changed to taste and vinegar can be regular, wine, cider or even champagne. Can be cooked or not depending on taste. Works with beef and chicken best but not too bad on pork either. Wouldn't recommend fish. If you really want to spice it up use half sriracha (or similar thick hot sauce) in place of ketchup.

I wonder if Bill Hart still has a copy of Chuck Lamonica's Bourbon sauce?

Sriracha is a great suggestion. Learned about using it in a cooking class couple of years ago and it makes a great addition. See if I can dig up a few recipes with it tonight!
