Zesty BBQ Lime & Chilli Sauce

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Sauces and Gravies
In the world of heavy, sweet BBQ sauces, this recipe is like a refreshing shower in summer. The acidity and essential oils of the lime cut through the smokiness, while the chilli provides the tingle. This 'cutting' sauce is perfect for fattier meats (like pork belly) because the acidity helps balance the fat on the palate.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Small saucepan
  • Citrus juicer
  • Spoon

Instructions

1 ✓

Squeeze the lime juice. In a small saucepan, mix it with the BBQ sauce and chilli flakes.

Tip: You can also grate in the lime zest for an even more intense fragrance.
2 ✓

Heat gently on a low flame, just until simmering, to release the strength of the chilli.

Tip: No need to cook, just warm through (infuse) so the flavours meld.
3 ✓

Remove from the heat and let it cool completely so the acids 'smooth out'.

Tip: It is most delicious cold or at room temperature.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use lemon instead of lime?
In an emergency, yes, but the more floral, exotic taste of lime is the true partner for chilli.
How long does it keep?
Due to the fresh lime juice, it keeps its best flavour in the fridge for about 1 week.

Ingredients

  • 100 ml BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp Fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp Chilli flakes
