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

  • 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
  • olive oil
  • salt

You will need

  • blender

Directions

  1. Prepare the vegetables:
    • Onion: peel, cut into small dice. Chile: halve lengthwise, remove the seeds, thinly slice.
    • Tomatoes: roughly chop. Bell pepper: remove the seeds, roughly chop. Garlic: peel, chop into small pieces.
  2. In a medium saucepan with olive oil over medium heat, sauté ½ of the diced onions and chile until transparent, for about 5 min.
  3. Add tomatoes, bell pepper, and garlic, and cook on low heat for about 20 min.
  4. Add 9 teaspoons tomato paste, and 6 teaspoons Dijon mustard.

  6. Mix everything into a paste using a blender.

Notes

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