Peach-Basil Sauce

Peach-Basil Sauce

A culinary gift from our European and Latin American neighbors, sofrito often doubles as a simmering sauce for braised dishes. Our summer spin on this saucy condiment combines ripe summer peaches with sharp fennel and toasty pine nuts, making it the perfect accompaniment to smoky grilled pork chops, flank steak, or shrimp. To help the sauce achieve its delicious jammy consistency, gently crush the peaches with a wooden spoon while cooking.
