Barefoot Contessa Barbecue Sauce

Something I've made a goal about this blog is trying to make items that I normally buy. I normally buy barbecue sauce, so when I saw this, I realized I had most of the ingredients in my fridge, and according to the Barefoot Contessa the recipe holds for at least a month, so I figured why not!

Ingredients

1/2 cup of vegetable oil

1 large yellow onion, chopped

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 cup of tomato paste

1 cup of cider vinegar

1 cup of honey

1/2 cup of Worcestershire sauce

1 cup of Dijon mustard

1/2 cup of soy sauce

1 cup of hoisin sauce

2 tbs of chili powder

1 tbs of ground cumin

1 1/2 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Heat oil in a large sauce pan.

Cook onion in oil until translucent on low heat, 10 to 15 minutes.

Add garlic and cook for one minute.

Add paste, vinegar, honey, all 3 sauces, mustard, chili powder, cumin and red pepper flakes.

Raise heat to high and and bring to a boil.

Once at a boil, lower heat to let sauce simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.

Can use immediately or refrigerate and use at a later time.

Changes I Made!

None, if I could find a way to make a smaller batch I would.

This recipe is from Barefoot Contessa Foolproof.

Curry, from Audrey

This may be a surprise, but as a small town Midwest girl, I did not grow up eating curry. I don't think I ever even tried curry, until I moved to Iowa and worked a woman who lived in New York City for decades. I was just learning how to cook, and I wanted other dishes to try and make. I asked her what I should learn how to make and without hesitating, she said curry. So I went online to try and find a recipe, and did not care for it. After looking at the recipe I realized it was because it had the cursed ingredient of peas in it, so I've been on a mission to find a pea less curry I like, and I found 2 recipes I wanted to try, and this is the first one I gave a shot. Ingredients 1 chicken breast 1 cup of flour 2 tbs of olive oil 1 cup of chicken broth 1 tps of mild curry 1 tps of strong curry 1 carrot, peeled and diced ...
