Description

Ingredients

• 1 tsp. neutral oil
• ½ of a red onion, diced
• 1 clove fresh garlic, minced
• ¾ c. roasted garlic cloves, loosely packed
• ¼ c. apple cider vinegar
• 30 oz. smooth tomato sauce or tomato puree
• 4 tb. coconut sugar (or brown sugar; plus more to taste)
• ¼ c. + 1 tb. sriracha (plus more to taste; or reduce if sensitive to heat)
• (optional) 2 tb. whiskey
• 2 tb. blackstrap molasses
• 1 tb. soy sauce (or tamari or liquid aminos)
• 1 tb. prepared mustard
• 2 tb. balsamic vinegar
• ½ tsp. ground cumin
• 1 tsp. smoked paprika
• ¼ tsp. black pepper
• 2 tsp. tamarind paste
• 1 tb. vegan Worcestershire sauce (see notes for substitutions)
• 1 tsp. liquid smoke

Directions

• Add a small drizzle of oil in the bottom of a saucepan over medium-high heat. When warm, add the diced onion and fresh garlic and stir. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the onion is softened and slightly browned. Remove from the heat.
• Use a rubber spatula to add the saute mixture to a blender along with the roasted garlic cloves and apple cider vinegar. Blend until completely smooth, adding some of the tomato puree.
• Pour the blender mixture into a saucepan and and all of the rest of the ingredients, except for the liquid smoke. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a gentle simmer.
• Simmer the mixture for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the liquid smoke and taste for seasoning (like more sweetness, acidity, salt, or spices). If you want a super smooth sauce, you can blend it again in batches or with an immersion blender.
• Let the sauce cool completely before storing in the fridge (its even better the next day!). Leftover BBQ sauce will keep for at least a week.
