OMG Enchilada sauce

Ingredients

* 3 T chili powder
* 3 T flour
* 1 tsp cocoa powder
* 1 clove of garlic
* 1/4 tsp of salt
* 1 tsp oregano
* 3 cups chicken broth
* 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
* 4 Fresh sprigs of cilantro

Directions

1. Combine all the dry ingredients in a small bowl. (Or you can keep from having to wash an extra bowl by putting the dry ingredients directly into the sauce pan.)
2. Slowly add enough of the chicken broth to make a thin paste, then add the rest of the broth. (I just added all the broth slowly while stirring constantly with a whisk.)
3. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens.
4. Add cilantro and simmer for about a half hour.

You can make it light red by adding in sour cream.

Balsamic Glazed Chicken.


Balsamic Glaze

Reduce balsamic vinegar with 2 tbsp of honey to a syrup.

Brush on towards the end of grilling and drizzle to taste.

I also grilled portobello mushrooms with paper thin slices of garlic in the ribs.
