The most important ingredient for any barbecue is the sauce, and without a good sauce, all effort may go waste.

This is a 30-minute recipe of my FAVOURITE barbecue sauce with my secret ingredient- it is sweet, tangy and sticky, just the way it should be!

Step 1: INGREDIENTS

1 cup Tomato Sauce

1 tbsp finely chopped fresh garlic

1 tbsp Mustard

3 tbsp brown Sugar

1 tbsp Soy Sauce

1 tsp Cumin powder

1 tsp paprika powder

4-5 cloves

5 tbsp Vinegar

1-2 drops of liquid smoke if available

1 cup Coca- Cola (the secret ingredient)

Salt to taste

Step 2: Mix and Slow Simmer

Mix all your ingredients in a pan and slowly simmer on a stove for about 20-30 minutes till the sauce has reduced by half and has attained a thick consistency.

Step 3: Enjoy!

Let the sauce cool down and store in a sterile container.
Apply generously while barbecuing anything and it'll elevate the taste to another level altogether!

Friendly tip- adding 2-3 tbsps of salsa to this sauce is another way of enhancing it's flavour. If you have a chunky salsa, just blitz the sauce in a mixer and you'll get a beautiful smooth consistency!
