This is a thick, juicy BBQ sauce - if you're super anal, which I love the fact that'll appear on the Cubs' blog, you can syn the brown sugar. But come on.
Ingredients
- ½ red onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed (tip: use a mini grater if you don’t have a garlic press)
- 1 level tbsp tomato purée
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
- juice of ½ lemon
- 1 level tsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp chilli powder
- few drops Tabasco sauce
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- salt & freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Spray a small pan with whatever spray oil you like to use. On a medium heat sauté the onion until soft (about 5 mins) add garlic cook for about another minute
- Reduce heat. Add tomato puree and cumin, mix for 1min. Add the canned tomatoes and all the remaining ingredients stir and cook gently until the sauce reduces and thickens to your liking (usually around 35 - 40 minutes for me)
- Season to taste with salt and pepper
- You can blend to make a smooth sauce or leave it as it is for a chunky bbq sauce. If you want to make a thinner sauce simply add water a spoon at a time when blending until you get the desired texture.
- The sauce keeps in the fridge for 2 weeks and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- (Use half this sauce for Pulled Chicken recipe)
- If you prefer a sweeter sauce you can add 2 tablespoons brown sugar when cooking but that will increase syns/calories.
Notes
- you know where this is going, don't you? Need a little mincer? Of course you do! You can find one right here!
- (at least you won't have stinky fingers!)
