FRENCH WEST INDIES SAUCE CHIEN
This recipe is for a sauce that is synonymous with the French West Indies. Sauce Chien (literal translation is dog sauce but in actuality from the idiom "avoir du chien," or to have pluck, spunky) was originally served along side fish and seafood dishes. In today's world, it goes well with grilled chicken as well as grilled vegetables.
