Author Notes
I live near the West Side Market in Cleveland, Ohio, and have found that going near the end of their operating hours on a Saturday can mean bartering for cases of berries for a rock bottom price. Last Saturday, I took advantage of a flat of summer's last blueberries and put them to good use, served alongside what I hope isn't summer's last meal on the grill. Enjoy. —Emily | Cinnamon&Citrus
Ingredients
-
1 tablespoon
olive oil
-
1
shallot, minced
-
1
pint blueberries
-
leaves from 5 thyme sprigs
-
1 teaspoon
granulated sugar
-
pinch of salt and fresh cracked black pepper
-
1.5 tablespoons
whole grain mustard
-
zest of one small lime
-
1 teaspoon
white wine vinegar
Directions
-
Warm olive oil over medium-high heat and sautee shallot until translucent. Add blueberries, thyme, sugar, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of fresh cracked black pepper. Reduce heat to medium, and cook until jammy about 7-8 minutes (a mixture of some whole and burst berry sauce should remain.)
-
Stir in the mustard and cook 2 additional minutes.
-
Pull the pan off the heat and add lime zest and vinegar.
-
Serve alongside grilled meats or strong hard cheeses and cured meats. I like to serve with grilled pork chops over spicy greens.
