Smoky Chilli BBQ Sauce
Ingredients
4 Tbsp butter (can substitute vegetable oil) 1/2 grated onion 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes 1/2 cup cider vinegar 2 Tbsp brown sugar 1/4 cup molasses 1-4 chipotle chiles in adobo (depending on how hot you want your bbq sauce) 1 teaspoon liquid smoke 1 Tbsp finely chopped fresh sage Salt to taste
Preparation
Heat
the butter in a heavy pot over medium-high heat until if froths (or
heat vegetable oil until hot), then add the grated onion.
Sprinkle a little salt over the onion. Sauté until the onion just begins to color, about 4-5 minutes.
While
the onions are cooking, finely chop the chipotle chiles in adobo. They
are hot, so start with one chile. You can add as many more as you want
later.
Add
the chipotle to with the onions, then add the tomatoes, vinegar,
molasses, sugar, liquid smoke, and chopped sage. Stir to combine and
let this simmer for 5 minutes.
Taste it and add salt and more chipotle if you want.
Simmer the sauce gently, uncovered, for 1 hour. Before serving, taste one more time for salt and chile.
