Chocolate with Chicken
July 21, 2010
As an ingredient in food, chocolate has become very popular because it is viewed as a healthy additive to recipes.
In addition to being rich in antioxidants, chocolate and cocoa powder add great flavor to both savory and sweet dishes. It also adds a deep dark color to some foods and since we eat with our eyes, it makes food look delicious.
I know it can be difficult to envision chocolate as part of a savory meal and not only in a sweet dessert, but it really adds a new twist to ordinary meals.
Adding chocolate and chili powder to tomato sauce makes a great topping over chicken.
