Spiced Barbecue Sauce Recipe
INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Red Onion , Finely Chopped
1 400g Can Copped Tomatoes (Ardmona are the best)
3 cloves Garlic
85g Brown Sugar
3 tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Tomato Paste
1-2 Red Chillies, deseeded and chopped
METHOD
Heat oil in a sauce pan and add red onion and cook gently until softened
Add remaining ingredients, season and bring to boil and then reduce to simmer for 20-30 minutes until thickened.
Taste and add more chillies if wanting a hotter sauce
If wanting a smooth style sauce blend with a stick blender.
This sauce is great to baste chicken drumsticks during cooking, or use as a classic bbq sauce, or also as a tasty dipping sauce for anything barbecued. We’ve even used it at home cold as a replacement for tomato ketchup when making a sauce for prawn cocktail. Yum!
