K, Now I have been on a hunt for quite awhile for a good Barbecue sauce. Don't know if you've tried to find one in the store. I've tried a few with less then favorable results! I decided that it was time to quite looking for a "short cut" and go for gold. On the first try I struck gold!! This is a recipe that I've adapted from a book called 500 Low Carb-recipes by Dana Carpender that my mom had (Who got it from a dumpster diving friend!). Never one to leave a recipe alone I took out the molasses (to lower the GI) and the Splenda(YUCK-O). I think this one is smokin'! ********pictured is BBQ chicken, baked potato and dinner roll
Spicy Barbecue Sauce
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 small onion finely minced
3 Tbs coconut oil (but you can use butter if need be)
4 tbs palm sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 Tbs maple syrup
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 Tbs *Worcestershire sauce (I use Frenches)
1 Tbs prepared horseradish
1 can tomato paste
1 Tbs Liquid Smoke
In a saucepan, cook the garlic and onion in oil for a few min.
Stir in the palm sugar, salt, mustard, paprika, chili powder, and pepper. Add in the water vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and horseradish, and stir to combine. Let simmer for 15-20 min.
Wisk in the tomato paste and Liquid Smoke, and let the sauce simmer another 5-10 min.
Let the mixture cool. Transfer it to a jar with a tight-fitting lid, and store in the refrigerated until ready to use---or in our case until the chicken is ready!!!
*Now I know that the Worcestershire sauce has a little sugar listed in the ingredient; No High Fructose Corn Syrup though. If there is anyone out there that knows of Worcestershire sauce that has NO sugar please let me know or even if they know of a sauce substitute that is a good alternative to Worcestershire I'd LOVE to know!!
(note: I made this without the Worcestershire sauce and it still tastes good... it's just got a fuller taste with it)
YUMMY!!!
