Recipe of the Month - March 2010

Coulis (pronounced “cou-lee”) is a traditional French sauce. This sauce combines the sweetness of strawberries, the piquancy of cilantro, and the nuttiness of cumin.

Spicy Cumin Chicken with Strawberry Coulis

Coarsely pureed or mashed strawberries make a thick uncooked sauce, called a coulis. Using uncooked berries preserves the flavor and color. Also, flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness allows for a shorter cook-time and moister meat.
