Dogwood Sauce: Ideal for Kebab! When the mayonnaise, ketchup and tkemali are bored - prepare the cornel sauce (author photo recipe)

Many Caucasians love dogwood sauce. He is in demand with them on a par with tkemali. It is very tasty - with a delicate aroma, slightly sour and bright color. Best suited to grilled meat.

Cornel is well established in culinary recipes. Most often, compotes are made of it, but if you decide to learn Caucasian cuisine, their use of berries is not limited to sauce and compote. They make soups, flat cakes from it, add to pilaf.

Despite all these advantages, taste, colors and of course useful components, cornelian berries have a disadvantage - they have very large bones. Therefore, to separate the flesh from the bone is very problematic. But with this we can handle.

Ingredients:

Cornel - 500 g;

Parsley (cilantro) - 1 bunch;

Salt - to taste;

Black ground pepper - 1/2 tsp;

Coriander - 1/2 tsp;

Sugar - to taste;

Garlic - 3-4 cloves;

Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon

Recipe:

Dogwood berries need to sort and wash. All the spoiled berries, it is better to postpone the compote, as they spoil the taste of the sauce. Whole and not spoiled by rot berries fill with water.

Put the saucepan on the fire and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and boil for 10 minutes if the cornel is ripe (almost black) and 15-20 minutes if the cornel is not ripe (all shades of red).

Boiled dogwood overturns on a fine sieve. Drain broth in a saucepan and do not pour it. It will make a great compote.

Now take the gloves to keep your hands clean and mop the dogwood on the sieve. As a result, you should remain zhmenya bones.

Now you can pour the broth, add water and sugar and cook compote.

Add all spices to the obtained cornel mass, adjust salt and sugar to your taste. Punch the mass with a blender until smooth. When punching the sauce is uniform. If you like to feel the greens and garlic pieces, then you need to chop them finely. For lovers of the Caucasian cuisine, we recommend replacing parsley with cilantro. The special taste of this greenery will give the sauce a unique shade.

Ready made dogwood sauce can also be prepared for the winter. Bring sauce to a boil, cook to desired density and pour into sterile jars. Immediately roll up.
