What makes this rhubarb BBQ sauce so special is its versatility. Whether you use it to coat pork ribs, baste grilled chicken, or as a side sauce, it will always make an impression. Moreover, it's an excellent way to use up the abundant rhubarb from your garden or the market.
INGRÉDIENTS Rhubarb: 2 cups, chopped Sugar: 1 cup Apple cider vinegar: 1/2 cup Ketchup: 1 cup Onion: 1 medium, finely chopped Garlic: 2 cloves, chopped Worcestershire sauce: 2 tablespoons Smoked paprika: 1 teaspoon Salt and pepper: to taste
PRÉPARATION- In a large pot, combine the diced rhubarb, brown sugar, cider vinegar, ketchup, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and smoked paprika. Heat over medium heat, stirring until simmering.
- Stir frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to purée the mixture once the rhubarb is tender.
- For a thicker sauce, simmer a little longer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Balance the flavors by adding a little more sugar or vinegar if needed.
- Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken further as it cools, so don't worry if it seems a little thin when hot.
