Hakuna Matata All-african Barbecue Sauce!

Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins

Ingredients

• 1 cup cooking oil (can use olive)
• 1 cup vinegar (use best, like wine, malt or cider vinegar)
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 cup ketchup (tomato sauce, made from real tomatoes, not junk)
• 1/2 cup chutney (a nice fruit chutney, not too sweet!)
• 1 teaspoon curry powder (mild!)
• 2 teaspoons black pepper, coarsely ground
• 1 tablespoon coriander seed, crushed
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
• 2 teaspoons mustard powder (use unsweetened table mustard if no powder available)
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped (or more if wanted)
• 2 teaspoons ginger, ground
• 2 teaspoons dried herbs (or a handful of fresh thyme)

Recipe

• 1 put all ingredients in a processor.
• 2 process until thickish and smooth.
• 3 taste for seasoning. if too sweet to your taste, add a little more vinegar.
• 4 (our south african chutneys are not very sweet, neither are our ketchup and mustard sweet -- your products i am not familiar with. so if you use too-sweet products the sauce will also be too sweet).
• 5 this basting sauce must stand before use so the flavours can meld -- at least 30 minutes.
• 6 keep in a screwtop bottle in the fridge, and shake or stir before use if it separates.
• 7 can be used as a marinade, but we prefer to use it for basting. you can also chuck in a few onion chunks when processing.
