Richard's simplest barbecue sauce
1 Servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Medium onion, chop fine | |
| 2 | tablespoons | Oil |
| ¼ | cup | Lemon juice |
| 2 | tablespoons | Vinegar |
| 1 | tablespoon | Worcestershire sauce |
| 2 | tablespoons | Brown sugar |
| ½ | cup | Water |
| 1 | cup | Chili sauce |
| 1 | Salt and pepper to taste | |
Directions
Brown chopped onion in oil, in a medium saucepan. Add remaining ingredients, bring to a low boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
This is a variable sauce, and works well with either molasses or maple syrup instead of brown sugar (use ¼ cup maple syrup). Also, minced chilies or green bell pepper may be sauteed along with the onion.
Sauce may be made thicker/chunkier; sauce may be made thinner. A couple of drops of liquid smoke (no more!) may be added.
