Ingredients
4 cups strawberries (about 1 pound), hulled
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup strawberry jam
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons blackstrap molasses
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 canned chipotle chile in adobo, chopped
1 clove garlic, grated
1/2 cup finely diced onions
1/2 cup finely diced red bell peppers
Two 15-ounce cans pinto bean, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Directions
Special equipment:
wooden or metal skewers- Preheat a charcoal or gas grill to medium-high heat.
- Skewer the strawberries and coat with 2 teaspoons of the vegetable oil. Grill on all sides, 1 1/2 minutes total.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the strawberries, ketchup, jam, balsamic vinegar, molasses, soy sauce, mustard, chiles and garlic. Cook over medium-low heat until the strawberries start to break down and all the ingredients combine, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the strawberry mixture until smooth. Continue to cook until the mixture is reduced by a third, about 15 minutes. This will yield about 2 cups sauce.
- In a medium cast-iron skillet, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add the onions and bell peppers and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the beans and 1 1/2 cups of the sauce. Put the skillet in the oven and cook until the sauce thickens, about 25 minutes. Garnish with parsley and serve.
