BBQ sauce for pizza

cazmcco

Hi!

We have friends coming over for a movie night on Saturday.

Iv been asked to make pizza (Dinkies recipe) and one with a pulled pork topping (Sparks) which has a BBQ sauce in it. One of our friends loves BBQ and iv been asked to make a BBQ sauce for the base as well.

Has anyone here got any recipes for a BBQ base, which would be good with the pulled pork?

Cheers!!

Whenever I make BBQ sauce I like to improvise and experiment, I tend to use this recipe as a guideline of sorts...So apologies if any of it seems a bit vague!

BBQ Sauce:
(Should make about 500ml)

- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 6 cloves garlic
- 2 chillies, deseeded & chopped (I use jalapeno's but any chillies will do)

- 1 tbsp cumin seeds, ground
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
- Salt & pepper
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 200g brown sugar

- 200ml water
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 120ml of apple or orange juice (I use 60ml of each, but whatever you have handy will do the trick!)
- 220ml ketchup
- 2tbsp tomato puree
- 3tbsp cider vinegar
- 1tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2tbsp mustard (I use Dijon)
- 60ml maple syrup, if you have it (I like to add some, gives it a nice sweetness)

1) Whizz onions, garlic and chillies and a splash of the water in a food processor. Transfer to a saucepan on a medium-high heat and let them cook away for a few minutes.

2) Add spices and lemon zest to the saucepan, then the brown sugar mixing it in until it all forms a paste.

3) Add the rest of the water, then the juices, mustard, vinegar and Worcestershire sauce (and syrup if you're using it). Sometimes I'll throw in a shot of bourbon too.

4) Bring to boil and simmer for about 30-40 mins. Just keep an eye on it, when its turned a lovely dark shade of red and begins to thicken up you'll know you're in business

5) Once its cooled pass it through a sieve, then you're good to go!
