*Oldie but goodie.

I’m not sure what the rules are about directly copying a recipe from a Gwyneth Paltrow cookbook and putting it on this blog.  But the only way to learn is to DO.  And, it would kind of be a thrill if she sued me.

So, here is a very nice hoisin recipe.  It’s free of MSG and chemical fillers, but it is loaded with sugar.  Also, you’ll thank GP every time you eat it, causing you to quietly ponder, “If I like this, does that mean I like everything having to do with GP?”  **Before long you might consider shoving giant crystals up your anus or vagina, just because, well, GOOP.

**I read something about this…somewhere?

Here’s the recipe I’m positive she paid someone to develop for her.

GP’s Hoisin Sauce

• 1 TBS avocado oil
• 1 clove of garlic, crushed
• 1/2 tsp five spice powder
• 125 ml red miso
• 125 ml maple syrup
• 2 TBS brown rice vinegar

1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the garlic and five spice powder and cook for 30 seconds or so…Or, until it smells fragrant.  I can never identify or understand that stage myself, but congratulations if you can.
3. Whisk in the remaining ingredients and bring to a low boil.  Barely simmer for for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
4. Let the sauce cool.  It keeps a week or so in the fridge.
5. Great with roast duck.  That recipe is coming, but I don’t have it quite right yet.
