Deep Southern Hot Barbecue Sauce
- COOK TIME
- 20 Min
One of my favorite things about the South is its great barbecues. So here's a bit of authentic barbecue that you can whip up right in your own kitchen. (Maybe not exactly like at Kilgore, Texas's Country Tavern, but for homemade - it sure is easy.)
What You'll Need
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup minced onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth or bouillon
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons parsley flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
What to Do
- In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic; sauté for 4 minutes or until golden.
- Remove from heat, then add the remaining ingredients. Reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Makes about 2-1/4 cups.
Notes
Use as a basting sauce for chicken, pork, fish, or beef.
