When you think of BBQ sauce, you are probably thinking of that rich, thick, sweet and spicy sauce that is delicious on ribs and chicken. That deep flavoured tomato based sauce is a Kansas city style sauce. I have been tweaking this recipe for years and have never shared it outside close friends.

Serves: 2 Jars
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large cloves of garlic, chopped
3-4 large red chillies, deseeded and chopped
Thumb sized piece of fresh ginger, chopped
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 pinch of nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt

60ml honey
60ml maple syrup
60ml Worcestershire sauce
160g soft brown sugar
1 bay leaf
Instructions
In a medium saucepan gently fry the chopped garlic, chillies and ginger in the oil for a few
minutes until the garlic is softened but not coloured.
Add all of the dried spices and fry for another minute.
Once all combined, add all of the liquid ingredients and sugar and bring to a gentle simmer
whilst stirring. Add the bay leaf.
Gentle simmer uncovered for 35-40 minutes until the sauce is nice and thick, stirring

Take out the bay leaf and allow to cool.
Blitz in a food processor, blender or you can use an immersion blender. Just make sure they
become a nice smooth sauce.
Pour into sterilised jars and keep in the fridge.
