Cook with Chocolate
Don't turn your nose up yet! There are plenty of ways to incorporate chocolate into savory dishes. So put your baking supplies aside and give a few of these chocolate-inspired main courses a try—like this cocoa rubbed baby back rib recipe.
Not sure what to serve alongside these bbq ribs, white chocolate-spiced baba ghannouj, or triple chocolate beef chili? Try a full bodied red wine, rich creamy chocolate stout, chocolate milk shake, or bitter coffee. All four should complement each course wonderfully and bring out the chocolate flavors tremendously.
