And now for something a bit different…a little break from the salads and the greenery of my usual posts…
How exactly does on take a photo of a sauce???? There’s probably much better ways of showing it off than this, but I keep forgetting to shoot it in use, hence the pic above…so apologies for the uninspiring photos, I can promise that the flavour makes up for it!
It came about as I was recently inspired by Julie’s recipe for a chipotle marinade which I made and used on chicken for my boys; I then made up the marinade again as a sauce, which then lead on to this creation…it works very well as spicy ketchup 🙂
Ingredients
2 parts rapeseed oil
2 parts honey
3 parts ketchup
1 part apple cider vinegar
1/2 – 1 tbsp Cajun spice mix (I use this recipe from the Frugal Hausfrau’s blog)
1 tsp hot paprika
Optional: add chilli/chipotle powder
Method
Mix everything together in a small saucepan and heat over a medium heat, stirring regularly, until the sauce thickens, then remove from the heat
Once cooled, pour into a jar to store it – you’ll find the oil separates, I poured this off and used it in a salad dressing; you could mix it back into the sauce if you choose
Marinade your chosen meat or vegetables in sauce and cook under a grill, or add the sauce to any dish
Enjoy!
