Bowen Sauce: A Tropical Sauce for Fish or Chicken

By B. J. Bloatt
July 30, 2004

Bowen is a small Town in Tropical North Queensland Australia. They grow probably the best mangoes in the world come October, November as well as tomatoes (June/July) green beans, corn and other stuff.

In all unfairness if you are travelling through the far North of Queensland in Australia don't stop at Bowen. The highway by passes it anyway. The fishing and the beaches which have no waves and (which you can't swin at anyway cause of the sharks, crocodiles and killer jelly fish) may be good but the locals have that inter bread thing happening there and there is something of a dileverance quality about the place. Be aware. However they or sombody has called a great sauce after them.

Bowen Sauce

Ingredients

1 table spoon peanut oil (prefered) but olive oil or any other will do.
1 large onion diced
3 cloves garlic crushed
1 tea spoon ginger (not dried - grated)
4 Mangoes from wherever you can get them (even frozen cheeks will do)
1 good sized banana chopped
2 cups ( whats that? 500ml) unsweetened pinaple Juice
Soy Sauce for Salt - perhaps 2 tea spoons perhaps more.

Method

Sweat (saute? [fry] slowly without browning) onions, garlic, ginger in peanut oil or whatever you are using.

Add mango, banana, soy sauce and pineapple juice and simmer for 10 minutes. Add water if mixture becomes too dry but it shouldn't if simmer temperature is low as it should be.

Use a food processor - I use one of those bar mix things - to blend until the consistancy of pumpkin soup. Serve with Chicken, Fish, Pork, Noodles etc......enjoy!
