Best Pierre Franeys Barbecue Sauce Recipes

PIERRE'S BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the peppers directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner on high heat or on a grill. Roast peppers, turning with tongs, until blackened all over. (Alternatively, broil peppers on a baking sheet, turning as each side becomes charred.) Transfer to a large bowl, and cover immediately with plastic wrap. Set aside to steam 15 minutes. Peel peppers; discard skin. Remove stems, seeds, and ribs; cut each pepper into pieces. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, and roasted peppers; cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are dark golden brown on the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in coriander, chili powder, and cayenne pepper; cook 30 seconds. Add sugar; cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes have broken down and are very soft, about 20 minutes.
• Stir in the vinegar, mustard, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Pour through a coarse sieve into a medium bowl, pressing out liquid with a spoon; discard solids. Return to stove, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a vigorous simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced slightly and thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Taste, and adjust for seasoning.

PIERRE FRANEY'S BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan. Blend well, bring to a boil and remove from heat.

BARBECUE SAUCE WITH HONEY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the garlic, cook briefly and add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring often, about 30 minutes. Let the sauce cool and use for basting. This sauce is good for any barbecued meat and keeps very well refrigerated.

PORK CUTLETS WITH PAPRIKA SAUCE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the cutlets with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a skillet large enough to hold the cutlets in one layer. When the oil is very hot, add the meat and cook over medium high heat for about 5 minutes or until browned. Turn the slices and cook 5 minutes more.
• Remove the fat from the skillet and scatter the onion, marjoram, garlic and paprika around the pork. Cook and stir until lightly browned. Add the vodka and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes. If there is too much liquid, reduce it. Stir in the sour cream; reheat but do not boil.

CHICKEN BREASTS WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Season flour with salt and pepper, and dredge the chicken all over. Remove the excess flour.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold the chicken pieces in one layer. Add chicken and cook, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes or until lightly browned.
• Flip the chicken and cook for 5 minutes more, or until cooked through. Carefully remove the oil from the skillet, leaving the chicken. Discard the oil.
• Add the thyme, shallots and garlic, and cook for about a minute. Do not burn the garlic. Add the lemon rind, the lemon juice and the broth.
• Scrape the skillet to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom. Add the butter, and cook for 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately.

BETTY TALMADGE'S COUNTRY BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine all of the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to the boil, stirring. Use to baste chicken as it cooks over hot charcoal. Or use for fresh pork shoulder during the last two hours as it cooks over hot charcoal.
• Serve any unused sauce on the side.

PIERRE FRANEY'S RIZ CREOLE

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a heavy sauce pan and add salt and rice.
• When the water returns to a boil, allow it to boil vigorously for exactly 17 minutes (these French chefs!).
• Drain in a colander; run under very hot water and drain again.
• Add the butter, salt and pepper to taste, sprinkle with the lemon juice and toss until the grains are coated.
• Voila!

PORK CUTLETS PARMIGIANA

Steps:

• Pound each slice of pork on a flat surface with a meat pounder or a mallet to about 1/4-inch thick. (Properly pounded slices will look like veal scallopini.)
• Place the egg, water, cumin, rosemary and salt and pepper in a mixing bowl, and beat well. Place the bread crumbs on a flat dish.
• Dip the pork slices in the egg mixture to coat and then dip in the bread crumbs. Pat lightly with the flat side of a kitchen knife to help the crumbs to adhere.
• Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a saucepan and add the garlic and onions. Cook, stirring for one minute; do not brown. Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and place as many cutlets as possible in one layer. When the slices are golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes, cook on the other side for 3 minutes. As the pieces are done, transfer them to a heated platter. Add more oil, if necessary, to the skillet, and continue cooking the rest of the slices in the same manner.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a baking dish large enough to hold the cutlets in one layer, spoon a little sauce over the bottom, add the cutlets, spoon more tomato sauce on top and cover each cutlet with mozzarella cheese. Add the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the dish and bake until piping hot and cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
