With our recipe, in just five minutes, you can whip up this delicious homemade bbq sauce that has no added sugar. It has a fiery flavor, a smokey flavor, a sweet flavor, and a sour flavor all at the same time. It is excellent for grilling meat and dipping. Keto is low in carbohydrates, free of gluten, and prepared using everyday ingredients. IS IT TRUE THAT REGULAR BBQ SAUCE DOESN'T CONTAIN NO SUGAR? No! It can be difficult to avoid consuming sugar while grocery shopping for condiments and still maintain a healthy lifestyle. Ready-made sauces typically contain a significant amount of added sugar in addition to significant quantities of chemicals that are taken directly from chemistry textbooks. Sugar has a preservation effect on food. Products have a longer shelf life as a result of this factor. It is not expensive. It improves the flavor. Sugar's ability to stimulate the brain's reward center and prompt the production of dopamine is one reason why people adore it. Consuming sugar induces in us a desire to consume even more sugar. All of this is excellent for the economy, but it is detrimental to our health. I don't want to go on and on about how awful the food manufacturing industry is. They are not involved in it for charitable purposes but rather to make a profit. What we can do is read the ingredients labels and make decisions about what we put into our bodies based on that information. One teaspoon of regular table sugar is equivalent to four grams of sugar. If, for example, you read that one hundred grams of Heinz sweet and spicy bbq sauce include thirty-four grams of sugar, you have a pretty good idea of what you're getting yourself into. INGREDIENTS FOR SUGAR-FREE BBQ SAUCE This no sugar bbq sauce, also known as "no sugar added bbq sauce," is made with everyday ingredients, the majority of which you probably already have in your kitchen at this very moment:
- Tomato Passata (tinned blended tomatoes)
- Worcestershire Sauce is known as.
- Vinegar made from Apple Cider
- Powdered Onion and
- Garlic Powder
- Smoked Paprika
- Sweetener
- Spices including cayenne pepper and cloves (both optional)
Tinned tomatoes were what I used for the base of my sugar-free ketchup recipe. Because of this, I needed to use less liquid to achieve the desired consistency. Here, I chose to utilize tomato passata. Because it is already pretty thick, the preparation time for your sauce is only five minutes. Please take note that this is NOT the thick, double-concentrated tomato paste but rather blended tomatoes that have been canned. KETO BARBECUE SAUCE ESSENTIAL FLAVORS The perfect barbecue sauce should combine four delicious flavors in equal measure.
- SWEET
I used a product called Sukrin Gold, which is a substitute for brown sugar that is manufactured with erythritol and stevia. You are free to use whichever sweetener you choose in its stead. Allulose, monk fruit sweetener, xylitol, or Splenda all work. Always remember to add more sweetness if you want a sauce that's on the sweeter side. Some of the sweetness also comes from the tomatoes, so it's important selecting a premium brand of passata. It is even possible to use fresh tomatoes if you so like. In this instance, you should choose a sweet variety, and you should make sure that they are completely ripe. After you have blanched them to remove their shells and then cooked them over low heat with a little olive oil until they reached the right consistency (I guess that this would take around 30 minutes), you should purée them.
- TANGY
The flavor of barbecue sauce cannot be replicated without the addition of vinegar. My favorite vinegar is apple cider vinegar because of the many positive effects it has on one's health. Some individuals start their day by consuming apple cider vinegar mixed with water in a tall glass. This is done to strengthen their immune systems. Again, any kind of mild white vinegar would be suitable for this purpose.
- SMOKY
Simple. Get yourself some smoked paprika powder. This sauce will be unrecognizable after adding it, and the best part is that it's not too expensive. In some of the other recipes for sugar-free barbecue sauce that can be found in the blogosphere, the use of hickory smoked sea salt or liquid smoke is recommended. These are all excellent choices; however, if money is tight, smoked paprika will do the task just as well. Even more impressive, I discovered a Paleo recipe from Healing Gourmet that calls for the use of two smoked bacon rashers. I thought that was a cool concept, and I would like to experiment with it sometime in the future. Because bacon already contains a significant amount of salt, I wouldn't bother adding any more. In addition to that, you'd need to simmer the sauce for half an hour and then purée it.
- SPICY
You are free to make as few or as many changes as you choose. Because I have children living here, I have to exercise self-control even if I have a passion for spices. Cayenne pepper or just regular old chili will do the trick. There is also the option of using mustard or mustard powder. Begin with a small amount, such as a pinch, and gradually increase it until you have arrived at the point at which you are completely content. Onion and garlic powder are two ingredients that, in my opinion, cannot be omitted from this recipe under any circumstances. I opted for the powdered form due to its greater ease of use and shorter preparation time. Using fresh onion and garlic is an option, but only if you don't mind the additional work involved (chopping), as well as the additional cooking time (30 minutes). Note that Worcestershire sauce does include some sugar in it, although there is only 1 gram of sugar in one teaspoon's worth of the sauce. Because it is only 2 teaspoons for the whole dish, it does not significantly raise the total amount of sugar at all. HOW TO MAKE LOW-CARB BBQ SAUCE: The following are the directions, which are extremely easy to understand:
- Put all of the ingredients into the saucepan.
- Continue cooking for another 5 minutes to get rid of the excess liquid.
- Taste, and then adjust the seasoning before allowing it to cool.
HOW TO MAKE USE OF THIS BBQ SAUCE WITH BEEF: It's a condiment that I enjoy using in beef recipes, like when I'm marinating steaks or making ground beef with it. The sauce has notes of sourness and sweetness from the tamarind, which works extremely well in this dish because of those notes. After grilling the pork belly strips for half an hour, I brushed them with barbecue sauce and put them back in the oven for an additional quarter of an hour. Delicious. SPARE RIBS: I bet it would also be nice for barbecue ribs and as a topping for burgers (have a look at my Keto Black Burger Buns!). I also think it would be good for spare ribs. DIP: You can use it as a dipping sauce for my Low Carb Keto Chicken Nuggets or these awesomely crispy keto chicken wings. STORAGE: Place in an airtight container and keep for up to a week in the refrigerator. If you prepare a large quantity, you may store it in freezer bags or freeze it in ice cube trays in the freezer for up to three months.
