BBQ Sauce is one of my favourites. I love the tangy, sweetness. When I went AIP I did not think BBQ sauce would still be possible because most commercial ones are tomato based. This one builds on a basic Nomato Sauce and yields a sweet and tangy sauce that is perfect for pulled pork, BBQ chicken or BBQ beef sandwiches.
You can add smoked salt to give this that little extra something.
*Nomato Sauce – the Nomato Sauce I use is from Stacey @ RealworldAIP: https://youtu.be/fsii2z627EM. The changes I made are as follows:
- Added 1/2 medium onion chopped
- I used 2 TBS dried basil instead of fresh
- I used 2TBS ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) instead of lemon juice
- 1 used 1/2 Cup sliced frozen beets (freezer section of standard grocery store)
You can make the Nomato sauce on the stovetop, or in the instant pot (high pressure 20 minutes).
This recipe is perfect for large batches and then freezing. I make a triple to quadruple batch and freeze it in mason jars for easy future dinners. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
