So this one was in Consuming passions, yet I don't feel I can call it Uncle buns barbecue sauce as I had to leave some ingredients out! Over here in ole Blighty I have several times heard of liquid smoke but never seen it anywhere!
If anyone can give me more details on this stuff please let me know? Any how, I used smoked hot paprika hoping that it would give me that smokey taste and I also used passata instead of prepared tomato sauce.T he story of Uncle Bun by the way is kinda tragic, he falls in love, marries a unfaithful woman, goes mad and he's barbecue place shuts down. He's recipe for barbecue sauce though is rescued from a toilet wall and here's my take on it...
Barbecue Sauce
- over a medium flame fry
- 1 onion until translucent, then add
- 2 cloves of garlic
- set aside
- now over a low flame stir together until the sugar dissolves
- 1 packet of passata
- 1 cup ketchup
- 2 tblsp brown sugar
- now add
- 1 tblsp smokes paprika
- 1\4 tsp chili powder
- 1 1\2 tsp dry mustard
- 2 tblsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1\4 cup cider vinegar
- 1 1\2 tblsp lemon juice
- 1\2 cup beef stock
- salt\ pepper bring to the boil and simmer for an hour or so
this doesn't taste anything like commercial sauce, being more tomatoey. It's damn fine on the side though.
