Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

   • Finely chop 1 onion and mince 1 garlic clove.

2. Cooking Process:

   • In a saucepan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté gently until the onion becomes transparent and fragrant.

3. Add Remaining Ingredients:

   • Once the onion is cooked, add in 2 tablespoons of fruit chutney (preferably Australian Sweet Apple Chutney), 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce, 1/2 cup of dry red wine, 1/4 cup of cider vinegar, 1/4 cup of water, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar.

4. Simmering:

   • Stir all the ingredients together to combine well. Cover the saucepan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce simmer gently for about 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.

5. Final Adjustments:

   • After simmering, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can blend the sauce briefly using an immersion blender or transfer it to a regular blender (after it has cooled slightly) for a smoother texture.

6. Serving:

   • Once prepared, the Spicy BBQ Sauce is ready to be used. You can use it immediately to coat meat before grilling or barbecuing, or as a delicious sauce to serve over grilled meats.

Chef’s Tips:

• For a spicier version, you can add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of hot sauce during the cooking process.
• This sauce can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow it to cool completely before storing.

Enjoy this Spicy BBQ Sauce with your favorite grilled meats or as a versatile condiment for your barbecue gatherings!
