Barbecue & Marinade Sauce for Fathersday

Barbecue & Marinade Sauce
for Fathersday

An easy way to make barbecue sauce using cupboard staples

And an excellent gift for Father/Grandpa Day for brushing or to marinate your favourite barbecued meats.

What we need:
1 paintbrush about 2,-- euro's
1 glass jar     about 2,-- euro's

1kg tomatoes about 2,-- washed and quartered

In the cupboard:

2 tablespoons dark or light brown soft sugar
2 tablespoons  Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon of cider vinager
1 dash of hot sauce, such as Tabasco
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced
1/4 teaspoon mustard powder or grainy mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon Italian or other herbs to taste (herb de Provence)
1 dash of olive oil
added later in the stage:
4 tablespoons of cornflour (maïzena) to 2 tablespoon of water in a cup
to gently add in the tomatoe sauce to thicken


In a saucepan: over a medium heat, stir together the quartered tomatoes. Bring to the boil then turn down the heat and let it simmer for 45 minutes. Remove as much tomato skins as possible. Sieve if you want.
Add all your store-cupboard staples and stir. Bring to simmer again, then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Make sure the herbs are nicely incorporated within the sauce.                     Pour into a nice glass jar.


Tip: Whether it's raining outside or you simply haven't got a barbecue, you can bake your meat in the oven and brush this sauce on the meat during the last minutes of cooking.

Make sure to read the instructions on a newly bought paint brush, not all are to be used as food brushes!
