This is a work-in-progress attempt to find a good sauce for burgers without the need to buy a ready-made BBQ sauce.

Ingredients

Yields 200 ml

  • 1 onion
  • 1 chile
  • 3 tomatoes
  • ¼ red bell pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 9 teaspoons tomato paste
  • 6 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • smoked paprika powder
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • ground cumin seeds
  • salt

You will need

  • blender

Directions

  1. Prepare the vegetables. Onion: cut into small dice. Chile: halve lengthwise, remove the seeds and thinly slice. Tomatoes: roughly chop. Bell pepper: remove the seeds and roughly chop. Garlic: chop into small pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan, sauté on medium heat ½ of the diced onions and chile until transparent, for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add tomatoes, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes.
  4. Add 9 teaspoon tomato paste, and 6 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  5. Season with smoked paprika powder, black pepper, cumin, and salt.
  6. Mix everything into a paste using a blender.
  7. Add raw onions, and mix using a spoon.

Notes

You could use leftovers when you cook chicken-vegetable-noodles soup instead of blended tomatoes and tomato paste.
