Homemade Barbecue Sauce Recipe - Perfect Topping for Burgers

Chicken fillet topped with crispy bacon and melted cheese, finished with a good helping of barbecue sauce - homemade of course.  Okay, whilst this isn't the most healthiest of food to eat, it has to be said it is probably very naughty but it is also very nice!  That said the chicken fillet is fine, it's just the bacon and cheese - oh and the sauce that have all the calories....and perhaps the skinny chips, but I'm pretty sure the lettuce makes it all okay?!

This makes quite a bit of sauce - hard to say for how many as it depends on how much sauce you want to pile on your burgers!

You will need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion - finely chopped
400g can chopped tomatoes - drained from their juice
2 nice fat garlic cloves - finely chopped
85g molasses sugar
3 tablespoons malt vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 good squirt of tomato purée

How to do it:
Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the chopped onion.  Allow to cook over a gentle heat for about 10 minutes until nicely softened. Put the onions and the tomatoes into a blender or use a stick blender, then return to the saucepan along with the rest of the ingredients and mix together.  Bring to the boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, until the sauce thickens. 

I use the Froothie Optimum 9200 Next Generation POWER Blender simply because I believe it's the BEST blender out there.  It crushes ice in seconds and is easy to use too, it has three speeds and three timer settings including a handy pulse button.

The Optimum 9200 is a commercial-grade super blender designed for longevity, versatility and BRAWN.  Stronger, faster and more powerful than a Vitamix, the Optimum 9200 - you can read my review here.
