    QUICK ’N’ EASY BARBECUE SAUCE

    DAIRY-FREE • EGG-FREE • NUT-FREE • VEGAN • VEGETARIAN

    OPTION: COCONUT-FREE

    MAKES 1¼ cups (300 g)

    PREP TIME: 5 minutes

    COOK TIME: —

    So many barbecue sauce recipes require you to cook down the ingredients and then cool the sauce before you can slather it on a burger. That’s a lot of work, so I do it this way instead.

    ⅓ cup (80 ml) balsamic vinegar

    ⅓ cup (80 ml) water

    1 (6-oz/170-g) can tomato paste

    2 tablespoons coconut aminos

    1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

    ½ teaspoon garlic powder

    ½ teaspoon onion powder

    ½ teaspoon paprika

    ½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt

    ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

    Place all the ingredients in a 16-ounce (475-ml) or larger airtight container. Cover and shake until incorporated.

    STORE IT: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

    THAW IT: Set in the fridge to thaw completely before using.

    make it COCONUT-FREE:

    Replace the coconut aminos with soy sauce, omit the salt, and add 1 tablespoon of confectioners’-style erythritol or 3 drops of liquid stevia.
