Chocolate Sauce for Roman Oxtail by Carmelita

A tomato sauce base is enriched with poached celery and finished with dark chocolate, raisins and pine nuts and a hint of nutmeg. This silky sauce is a subtly bitter sweet finish for Roman Oxtail Stew, its crowning glory. Though I have never tried it, I imagine it could also work well with game dishes.

It's best served the day made. Sub any veggies you want for variations, or change to a main dish salad over pasta. Leftovers can top salad greens for yet…

Peanutty Oatmeal Cookies by Salad Foodie

A different take on peanut butter cookies. The oatmeal adds chewiness, and the chopped peanuts add extra crunch. For an over-the-top serving, spread a cookie with a smear of peanut butter and dab of jelly.
