Home made BBQ sauce
Vegan
Servings: 72 tblsps, or 1 jam jar
Calories: 7kcal
Cost: 58p for the whole batch
Ingredients
- 500 g passata
- 60 g muscovado sugar
- 3 tblsp brown sauce cheapest one
- 2 tsp paprika sweet, smoked
- 1 clove garlic or use paste, I like it very garlicky!
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tblsp white wine vinegar or any vinegar, except malt
Instructions
- Put everything in a sturdy saucepan
- Bring to the boil and simmer until it is reduced a little and thickened up. Be careful during this step, as it thickens, it tends to blip over the top of the saucepan, and it will be scalding hot
- Once it is as thick as you would like it, pot into a clean dry jar and store in the fridge once cooled
Notes
What changes can I make
- Making it yourself means you can control the levels of garlic, acidity, sweetness and smokiness. And of course, there are no nasties in it.
- If you want it more smoky, add more paprika, or use some liquid smoke. Be careful that you don't use the hot paprika or it will be very hot!
- Reduce the pepper or leave it out if you don't want any heat at all.
- Add more sugar if you prefer your BBQ sauce sweeter.
- Mash some tofu with a little sauce and add some cress or lettuce
- Slice beetroot, add hummus or squashed chickpeas
- Mix beans or lentils with BBQ sauce, add finely sliced Hispi cabbage and finely sliced radish
