Tips for pairing chocolate and meat

Choose the right chocolate : dark chocolate with a not too high cocoa percentage (around 60-70%) is ideal for most meat recipes. Balance the flavors: don't overdo the amount of chocolate, its flavor should complement the meat without overpowering it. Use spices and herbs: spices such as chili pepper, paprika or cumin can enhance the combination of chocolate and meat. Play up the contrast of textures: pair the tenderness of the meat with the creaminess of the chocolate sauce for an interesting contrast. Quality products : it is important to use quality ingredients to obtain an optimal result.
