Cooking tip: Barbecue sauce comes in all levels of sweet and spicy. Play with the spices to give it your own personal zing!
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon Chili Powder
- 3/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 3/4 teaspoon Ground Mustard
- 1/4 cup chopped Onions
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/8 teaspoon Red or Cayenne Pepper
- 1 1/2 cups Unsweetened Ketchup
- 1/4 teaspoon Allspice Ground
- 2 teaspoons Sucralose Based Sweetener (Sugar Substitute)
- 1 tablespoon Vinegar (Cider)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried Coffee (Instant Powder)
- 2/3 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
Directions:
Most commercial barbecue sauces are full of sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. Feel free to customize the sauce to your preferences or to the recipe you'll use this sauce with. For example, you can use more or less cayenne pepper or more or less vinegar as well as other spice combinations. Each serving is 2 scant Tbsp. It is also advised to use only 1-1 1/2 tbsp if you are on Atkins 20 Phase 1 as the recipe is a little high in NC for that phase.
- Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes.
- Add tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, mustard, allspice and cayenne pepper, cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, sugar substitute and coffee; simmer, stirring occasionally, until very thick, about 8 minutes.
- Serve warm or at room temperature, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
