Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the tomato paste, stirring it into the onion and garlic mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the paste darkens slightly.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, apple cider vinegar, and water. Stir well to combine.
Add the brown sugar, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let the sauce cook uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add more salt, sugar, or vinegar to achieve your preferred flavor balance.
Once thickened to your liking, remove the sauce from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
For a smooth consistency, use an immersion blender or transfer the sauce to a blender and blend until smooth. If you prefer a chunky texture, skip this step.
Transfer the sauce to a jar or container and let it cool completely before storing. The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 1 week or frozen for longer storage.
