Recipe Rhubarb BBQ Sauce

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

1. 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.
2. Stir frequently to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
3. Adjust the heat as needed to maintain a gentle simmer, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to purée the mixture once the rhubarb is tender.
5. For a thicker sauce, simmer a little longer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
6. Balance the flavors by adding a little more sugar or vinegar if needed.
7. Keep in mind that the sauce will thicken further as it cools, so don't worry if it seems a little thin when hot.
