COCA-COLA BARBECUE SAUCE

This is an awesome Barbecue Sauce. The taste is "just perfect". A lot of the bottled sauces are too tangy, too strong, etc. This does not get super thick and it has more of a mild flavor. You can use it on anything but the author highly recommends it on Chicken, ribs and pork. The recipe is from Steven Raichlen, author of The "Barbecue Bible".

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, peeled and minced
2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
2 Tbsp. ground New Mexico chili powder
1 Tbsp. ground Chipotle chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried thyme, rubbed between your fingers
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 C. Coca-Cola (or other cola)
1 C. tomato ketchup
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1/4 c. molasses
3 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over low heat. Add the shallot, garlic, chili powders, cumin, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cover, and cook, stirring a few times, for about 10-12 minutes. The object is to sweat, not saute the shallots. Stir in the Coke, ketchup, lime juice, molasses, honey, Dijon mustard, and Balsamic vinegar, and bring to a simmer. Cook the sauce, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Stir the sauce occasionally. Cook the sauce longer for more reduction, if you'd like a thicker sauce. Cool the sauce to room temperature before using. This will keep for about five days under refrigeration and covered.
