Smoked garlic barbecue sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Sauces and Gravies
The secret of real BBQ sauce is layering: smokiness is built upon a sweet (sugar, ketchup), sour (vinegar), and salty (Worcestershire) base. In this version, smoked garlic provides the depth that makes the sauce taste as if it spent hours in a smoker. Slow cooking is essential for sugars to caramelise and the sauce to become a sticky, glossy glaze on the meat.

Instructions

1 ✓

Chop the onion very finely, crush the garlic into a paste.

Tip: The smaller the onion, the smoother the sauce. (Texture homogeneity).
2 ✓

Sweat the onion in oil until translucent, then add garlic and stir (approx. half a minute).

Tip: During onion sweating, sugar content starts caramelising, deepening flavours. (Maillard reaction).
3 ✓

Add ketchup, brown sugar, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, and vinegar. Stir until lump-free.

Tip: Brown sugar's molasses content adds extra flavour and darker colour. (Flavour profile enrichment).
4 ✓

Cook on slow fire, stirring frequently, for 15-20 minutes until thickened and dark red.

Tip: Pectin in tomato and syruping of sugar provide characteristic thickness. (Viscosity increase).
5 ✓

Season with salt and pepper. For a smoother sauce, puree with a stick blender.

Tip: Pureeing unifies texture and emulsifies any separated oil.
