The Best BBQ Sauce!
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion. Chopped very fine. I recommend using a food processor
  • 3 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (cayenne, chipotle pepper spices work well too)
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes. Can use diced too.
  • ⅓ cup of molasses
  • ⅓ cup white vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of dijon or yellow mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions
  1. Heat oil in saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and brown for about 5 minutes
  2. Add garlic. Cook for one minutes.
  3. Add everything else to the sauce pan EXCEPT the mustard and the paprika
  4. Stir and cook uncovered for at least 30 minutes. If it is getting really messy lower the heat.
  5. Once 30 minutes has passed add mustard and paprika. Alter more or less to taste.
  6. Cook for 5 more minutes
  7. Once finished you can then blend it if you like a really smooth sauce.
  8. It tastes awesome both ways!
Notes
You can substitute maple syrup or honey for the molasses.
