Balsamic Vinegar BBQ Sauce
Recipe By Michael Weldon
Ingredients
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, sliced
½ head fennel, diced
2 dried chillies
1 tbsp Coles fennel seeds
2 tbsp Coles tomato paste
4 anchovy fillets
½ cup brown sugar
1 cup Squeaky Gate classic balsamic vinegar
¼ cup currants
sea salt
black pepper
Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil
Method
In a saucepan sweat the onion, fresh fennel and garlic until soft. Once soft, make a well in the pan and add the fennel seeds to lightly toast them off.
Add the chillies and tomato paste, fry off until the colour intensifies.
Add in the anchovies, sugar, vinegar and currants with a 1/2 cup of water. Season with salt and pepper, cook until all ingredients are soft and the liquid has been reduced. It should be thick and saucy.
Using a blender, blend the sauce until smooth. Allow to cool then keep in a sterilized air-tight glass container in the fridge. Serve with BBQ, roast meats and anytime you need BBQ sauce.
