MISE EN PLACE



INGREDIENTS

  • 210g onion, finely chopped (1 medium onion)

  • 30g good olive oil, or neutral oil (1/8 cup)

  • 40g garlic, minced (6 cloves garlic)

  • 4 grams sea salt (1 tsp)


  • 355g dark beer or hard cider (one 12oz bottle or can)


  • 20g chili powder (4 tsp)

  • 2g smoked paprika (1 tsp)

  • 4g fresh ground black pepper (1tsp)

  • 2g cayenne pepper, ground (1/4 tsp) (optional)

  • 600g ketchup (2 cups)

  • 200g brown sugar (1 cup)

  • 250ml cider vinegar (1 cup)

  • 60ml Worcestershire sauce (1/4 cup)

  • 30ml lemon juice (1/8 cup)

  • 5g liquid smoke (1 tsp) (optional)


PROCESS

  1. Saute the onion, oil, and salt for about 10 mins on medium heat until the onion is translucent.

  2. Reduce the heat to medium-low.

  3. Add the garlic and sauté until the onion caramelizes a bit, about 5-15 more minutes. This will also allow time for the water to evaporate from the onion and garlic.

  4. Add the dry ingredients and sauté until fragrant and toasty, while stirring frequently, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. De-glaze the pan with the beer or cider.

  6. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to reduce the volume by about 10 percent.

  7. Reduce the heat to low.

  8. Add the rest of the ingredients, stir, and simmer for 10 mins, stirring often to avoid scorching.

  9. Let cool for 5 minutes.

  10. Use a funnel and ladle to fill the bottles with your delicious creation.

  11. Put it on everything, share, and enjoy!
