1 tablespoon minced ginger
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup red wine
1 cup pineapple juice, reduced to 1/4 cup
2 cups chicken stock (not canned - too salty)

2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup dark molasses
2 tablespoons black pepper

2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon ground dry mustard (Coleman's preferably)
Juice of one lime

Steps:

Gently saute onion, garlic, and ginger in olive oil and butter until the onion is translucent, but not brown.
Add red wine and cook off alcohol. Add remaining ingredients, except lime juice, and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least one hour.
If you want a completely smooth sauce, strain after cooking. Brighten with lime juice after cooking.

Grilled Mango image

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 1

3 firm-ripe mangoes (2 1/4 pounds total)

Steps:

Standing mango upright, cut two lengthwise slices, each about 1/2 inch thick, from a broad side of mango pit. Cut remaining broad side and remaining mangoes in same manner. (There should be a total of 12 slices, 6 of them end pieces.) Discard pits and reserve any remaining mango for another use.
Prepare grill.
Working with end pieces only, score flesh in a cross-hatch pattern, being careful not to cut through skin, and grill, cut side down, on a well-oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until golden brown, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, mango may be grilled in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat in same manner.) Transfer mango as grilled to a platter. When end pieces of mango are cool enough to handle, push from skin side to turn inside out. Grill remaining mango slices about 2 minutes on each side.
