The Sauce is the Boss
July 31st, 2009 by Rob Hart
After a few requests for my Bourbon BBQ Sauce recipe here it is. I totally grifted this from some generic recipe and made some changes.
1 onion finely chopped
4 cloves garlic
1 1/2 Cup Bourbon (Evan Williams)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 Tablespoon sea salt
1/3 Cup cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons liquid smoke (or more)
1/4 cup Worcester (I use the vegan kind)
1/2 Cup brown sugar packed (or molasses)
1/4 cup Franks hot sauce
2 Cup Katsup
1/4 cup tomato paste (I used a little 6oz can)
lots of cayenne pepper to taste
Pour some good bourbon in a class with 2 ice chips. Sip it. Simmer the onions and garlic in 1 cup of cheap bourbon until the onions are translucent. Or like 10 mins or something. Add everything else and simmer for about 30-60 mins or more. I like to keep adding whiskey to mellow out the sauce. If you want a darker sauce use molasses instead of sugar. I recycle my old bourbon bottles to keep the sauce in.
I’m going to start posting some of my vegetarian recipes here. I’m working on a post about the Vegan Riblets. Here’s some preview photos taken by Jason Brown & Brian Valentin.

What is that? When will you post the final product? Right now it looks like you are coating peanut butter with mayo…I’ll be checking back to see how this ends.

Beth we made a big batch of Vegan Riblets for the 4th of July. They are amazing and so very hard to photograph, cause I just want to eat them. After I make a batch soon I’ll post the recipe. They are pretty freaking awesome and I’m sure you’d love ‘em.
