Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 tbsp | Olive Oil |
| 1/2 | Yellow Onion, finely chopped |
| 2 cloves | Garlic, minced |
| 1 tsp | Ground Cumin |
| 1 tsp | Chili Powder |
| 1/3 cup | Malt Vinegar |
| 1 cup | Ketchup |
| 3/4 cup | Dark Brown Sugar |
| 1/4 cup | Dark Soy Sauce |
| 2 tbsp | Worcestershire Sauce |
| 2 tbsp | Chipotle Puree (pureed chipotle chiles) |
Instructions:
-
Heat Olive Oil: Begin by heating the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
-
-
Saute Aromatics: Add the finely chopped yellow onion, minced garlic, ground cumin, and chili powder to the saucepan. Saute the mixture until the onions are soft and translucent, releasing their aromatic flavors.
-
Deglaze: Pour in the malt vinegar, using it to deglaze the pan. Stir the mixture well, ensuring to scrape the bottom of the saucepan to incorporate all the flavorful brown bits.
-
Simmer: Now, add the remaining ingredients to the saucepan: ketchup, dark brown sugar, dark soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and chipotle puree. Allow the sauce to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until it slightly thickens. This will take approximately 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Blend: Once the sauce has reached the desired consistency and the flavors have infused, transfer it to a blender or food processor. Blend the sauce until it becomes smooth and velvety in texture.
-
Chill: After blending, allow the sauce to cool slightly before transferring it to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate the Blazin BBQ Sauce until ready to use, for up to 3 days.
