Spicy home-made BBQ sauce.



Out of all the popular sauces that I have had, BBQ sauce ranks amongst my top three. 
Not only can it be eaten with virtually anything, however, as I recently discovered, it is simple to make. It's not complicated and can be stored for up to a week in the fridge.
The reason that I decided to share this recipe was because a friend of mine, Phoebe mentioned that it was a great combination with the hot Chinese ribs that she claims are her speciality. 

Not only is this home-made version tastier than the bottled sauce, but it is far healthier due to the reduced salt levels within it.  

INGREDIENTS: 
2 tbsp sunflower oil 
4 1/2 cloves of crushed garlic
2 tbsp of smoked paprika
1/2 tsp of crushed birds eye chilli 
Sprinkle  of crushed pepper
1 1/2 tbsp of honey
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp mustard
2 tbsp red wine vinegar 
200g Tomato ketchup
1 small chilli, finely chopped
1 1/2 tbsp muscovado sugar 
1 tsp ground cumin

METHOD! 
1.) Begin with heating the oil in a saucepan, on a medium heat, once the oil has heated, add the garlic and fry until it transforms into a golden colour
2.) Next form a paste, by adding the paprika, chilli, pepper, honey, salt, mustard, sugar and cumin. Stir well together so that the garlic is mixed into the paste. 
3.) Next, add the mustard, red wine vinegar and ketchup. Combine these liquids into the mixture carefully and simmer for around 8-10 minutes, until the mixture has formed a thick consistency.
