BBQ Sauce

This is the sauce from the BBQ Short Ribs recipe. I created it watery to allow for thickening during cooking.

I have used this sauce for ribs (link above) and also for chicken. To make the chicken, I poured about 1 cup of this sauce and an equal amount cashew milk over chicken thighs and drumsticks in my crockpot, along with extra sea salt. I cooked it all on HIGH for about an hour, and then on LOW for another 6 to 8 hours.

BBQ Sauce

  • 1 can tomato paste
  • 3 cups filtered water
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Whisk all ingredients together in a 4-cup measuring cup. Use for marinating and cooking meats. Store unused amounts in the refrigerator. Keeps for about a week.

    I make a very similar BBQ sauce.

    I *adore* cumin. Any recipe with 1 Tbsp of it makes me smile. :)
