Homemade Barbecue Sauce, Quirky Cooking
 

Homemade barbecue sauce has so much more flavour than bought sauce. And I love that it doesn’t have to be full of sugar and additives. I often use the cherry tomatoes that grow wild in our backyard – a cheaper and healthier alternative to bought barbecue sauce!

This recipe is delicious on steak or chicken, or poured over meat and slow-cooked.  If you like it spicier, just add some more fresh chilli, or cayenne pepper.  If it’s the wrong season for plums, I just use some tinned ones; about four or five since they’re small.

Note: You can find fine sea salt, Aussie Kibble Pepper and Organic Garlic for this recipe in my online store here!

Ingredients
  1. 4-5 heaped tablespoons tomato paste
  2. 100g balsamic vinegar
  3. 50g coconut sugar or 30g honey
  4. 2 tsp worchestershire sauce or tamari sauce
  5. 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  6. 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  7. 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  8. 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  9. 2 tsp ground smoky paprika
  10. 2 tsp liquid smoke seasoning (opt.)
  11. 2 tsp sea salt
  12. freshly ground black pepper
Vegetables
  1. 950g fresh tomatoes (very ripe), halved
  2. 2-3 dark red plums, deseeded
  3. 150g red onion
  4. 1 fresh red chilli, deseeded
  5. 2 or 3 garlic cloves
  6. 1 red capsicum, halved
  7. 50g dates, pitted
Instructions
  1. Weigh the veggies and plums into the Thermomix bowl and blend 30 sec/speed 9.
  2. Add remaining ingredients, mix on speed 6 for a few seconds, then cook 45 min/Varoma/speed 3, with the internal steaming basket on the lid instead of the MC. (This lets the steam out so that the sauce reduces, without letting it spit everywhere.)
  3. Blend 30 sec/speed 9.
  4. Pour into sterilized bottles or jars and keep in the fridge. Use within a month. For longer storage time, it is best to freeze.
Quirky Cooking https://www.quirkycooking.com.au/
Note: To make without a Thermomix, you will need to puree the tomatoes first, then cut up all the vegetables (or chop in food processor), then place in a heavy based pot on the stove with all other ingredients and simmer (stirring occasionally) for 45 mins. Cool, then blend in batches in a blender until smooth.

    Thankyou Jo
    your blog and recipes are so inspiting.

    How long does this sauce last for once transferred to a glass jar? I presume it is to b ekept in the fridge?

      I put mine in sterilised jars and they last for months. I make a huge batch at the end of summer, when tomatoes are cheaper and have just run out in June. I turn the hot jars upside down as I fill them to seal them and place them in a cool room.

    Thanks Linda 🙂 Yes, keep it in the fridge and it will last a few weeks – but if you’re worried you won’t use it quick enough, you could freeze half of it. Ours always runs out in a couple of weeks!

    I’ve never made this bit glancing at the non-termie recipe. I would like to suggest, as a tomatoes sauce no thermie maker, I mouli the lot and then simmer. Much faster and easier than blanching, peeling and de-seeding.

    Hi Jo

    Love your blogs, they have really enhanced my thermie experience.

    I have just made this sauce and have followed it to the tee with the exception of the liquid smoke seasoning and its a bit bland, I am not sure what I have done wrong. Would it be the omission of the liquid smoke seasoning. Is there anything I can do to correct retrospectively?

    Thaks so much Jo.

    I’m on a completely sugar free diet at the moment. This means no fruit at all so plums and dates are out, especially with the sugar content of the tomato paste. Will excluding those two things make a substantial difference to the flavour of the sauce?

    Reply
    • QuirkyJo says:

      Plums and Dates can be left out and maybe try adding a stevia or reducing the vinegar and test it out as you go 🙂

{Ruby Red Grapefruit Pie} Wednesday isn’t too ea {Ruby Red Grapefruit Pie} Wednesday isn’t too early to start thinking of treats for the weekend, is it? 😄 Citrus is in abundance right now, so if you’re like me and have ruby red grapefruits piled up on your bench top, you should definitely try this pie. It’s arguably my favourite recipe in our Life-Changing Food cookbook and I will shout its praises every citrus season til my dying day!!

Grapefruit pie is a local favourite in South Texas (USA) and in ruby red grapefruit season you’ll find it served at
little roadside barbecue joints where they guard the recipe closely! I only know about it because my parents are Texan and lived in South Texas for years… but this recipe is way too good to hide away. The pie's crunchy crust holds big, juicy sections of ruby red grapefruit set in a sweet citrus jelly, and it's not bitter, because the grapefruit pith is removed. 

Some versions have a layer of cream cheese spread over the pastry under the grapefruit and jelly, to protect the crust from getting soggy, and this also acts as a creamy foil to the tangy fruit and crunchy crust. I love it best this way - I use cream cheese or labne, or I make cashew cream cheese for a dairy-free version. The traditional accompaniment is a big dollop of fresh whipped cream (which is always sweetened in Texas, but I prefer it unsweetened), or use coconut cream if you’re avoiding dairy. And don't panic filleting the grapefruit - once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy. And if your pieces turn out a little mangled and messy, don't worry, it will taste just as amazing!

You can find the recipe in our Life-Changing Food cookbook* or app AND I’ll be making this recipe and sharing it on my next podcast video THIS FRIDAY  on my citrus episode, so keep an eye out for that! (Subscribe to my newsletter to get all the latest videos as they are released - link in bio.)

{Herb & Cheese Fatayer} I promised to share how we {Herb & Cheese Fatayer} I promised to share how we made these little cheesy-eggy grain-free pastries, so here you go!

- Make a batch of Grain-Free Dough (recipe in Life-Changing Food, or buy the pastry premade from Primal Alternative, or you can use the Almond Meal Pastry on my blog)
- Mix together 300-400g quark (or mashed feta) and 4-5 eggs (whisked)
- Roughly chop some flat-leaf parsley, chives and mint (and finely chopped onion if you like), add zest of 1 lemon and mix through egg mixture, then season with salt and pepper
- flatten a circle of dough in your hands (about 10cm diameter and about 5mm thick) and shape into fatayer (like a little boat), then set onto lined baking trays
- fill fatayer with egg mixture
- bake in 200C oven for 15-20 mins or until pastry is browned and mixture has set firm

I keep these in the fridge/freezer and warm them up for a quick breakfast or lunch!

Yesterday I shared my Monday cooking videos in my Yesterday I shared my Monday cooking videos in my stories (let me know if you missed them and want me to re-share), and one of the questions I had afterwards was this one ⬆️ - “Can you share ‘What we ate this week’ day in the life style? And what is made fresh, prepared ahead, and from the freezer”. 

Why not, I said! So I’ve been taking photos of my food even more than usual 😂 like a photographic food diary, and it’s sometimes boring and sometimes delicious and sometimes weird, but you’re welcome to follow along if you like!! 😁

Today’s “day on a plate” in pictures: 

Breakfast: herb & cheese fatayer (grain-free pastry from Life-Changing Food filled with a mixture of quark, eggs, herbs and lemon zest - will share recipe in another post) - made yesterday and stored in fridge/freezer, heated in grill and eaten on the run with coffee 😁

Lunch: savoury mince from Simple, Healing Food (made yesterday, with a lot of cabbage added because we needed to use it 😄), fermented daikon radish (grown on the organic farm where Simi works), and Camembert cheese (made at a local dairy)

Snacks: Peanut butter chocolate fudge 😁 recipe on the blog ❤️ (and tea)

Dinner: Broccoli & cauliflower bake (from Simple, Healing Food except with cheese on top rather than macadamia “cheese” - prepared yesterday, stored in fridge then baked in oven tonight), steak & veggies - kids had fish instead of steak … I made lots as the leftovers are for work lunches tomorrow 😊

Before bed: probably another cuppa tbh but last night was beet kvass - I don’t think I’ll do that again right before bed though, it was a bit too strong before bed 😄

I don’t know if any of this will be at all helpful, but I guess it will show that I’m not always perfect and I don’t always stick to my meal plan and my food isn’t always “instagrammable” 😄 and that’s ok! 🤗 

PS My meal plan for the week is at the end - links are in my newsletter sent out on Monday. ❤️

I had so much work planned to do today, but at 6am I had so much work planned to do today, but at 6am I decided it was much more important to drive down the mountain and spend the day eating good food and drinking amazing local coffee with our dear friends visiting from Melbourne. 😍❤️ Have you heard of the 5 years rule? In 5 years time, no one is going to remember the housework didn’t get done today, the newsletter didn’t get written, the washing didn’t get put away, or the dinner was very basic. But we WILL remember this beautiful day spent with family and friends. ❤️

- baked sweet potatoes (I bake a few whole in their skins & keep in the fridge to add to meals), sliced & pan-fried in ghee with homemade butter (from cream that was nearly out of date & needing to be used), sprinkled with the a sesame seed/nigella seed spice blend (Everything Bagel Blend by @gewurzhaus)

- a cheat’s version of pickled beetroot (boiled, sliced, drizzled with apple cider vinegar and stored in the fridge for up to a couple of weeks)

- smoky baba ghanouj on the side (I had SO many eggplants & my sister made this with some of them) - recipe in Life-Changing Food

- homemade sauerkraut (I always have jars of kraut & fermented veggies in the fridge - such a great way to preserve an abundance of veggies, & so good for your gut!!) - recipes in Simple, Healing Food

An inexpensive and delicious meal using locally grown, in season, pesticide-free produce from my CSA box ❤️
