Ingredients

  • 1 pcs. Onion
  • 5 cloves Garlic
  • 25 gram Butter
  • 75 gram Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 48 gram Brown sugar
  • 0.5 pcs. Lemon juice and zest - organic. Can be replaced with an orange
  • 45 gram Olive Oil
  • 30 gram Tomato Puree
  • 200 gram Passata or chopped/peeled tomatoes
  • 2.7 gram Chili Powder to taste
  • Spices salt, cayenne pepper, and cumin

Instructions

  • Cut the onion and garlic into smaller pieces.
  • Turn on a pot to medium-high heat (9 out of 14 on my stove).
  • Add butter to the pot and let it melt.
  • Add the onion and garlic to the melted butter.
  • Let it cook for a couple of minutes. The onions should just become soft and not take on color.
  • Add the vinegar and let it boil for 2 minutes.
  • Then add the brown sugar and let it simmer further.
  • Grate the lemon zest (avoid the white part) and squeeze the juice. Add both to the sauce along with olive oil, tomato puree, passata, and chili.
  • Let it simmer for 20 - 30 minutes and season with salt, cayenne pepper, and cumin.
  • Blend everything together. Now the sauce is ready!
