Low Glycemic Barbeque Sauce
Yield: 20 servings, 2 Tbsp. each
Ingredients
- 2 tsp. smoked paprika or chipotle powder
- 1 small onion, minced fine
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 small can (6 oz) Muir Glen Organic Tomato Paste
- 1 cup filtered water
- 3 Tbsp. organic spicy mustard
- 1 Tbsp. organic Worcestershire sauce
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 2 Tbsp. Newman’s Own Organic Balsamic Vinegar
- 1 Tbsp. organic molasses
- Organic hot sauce to taste
Preparation
In a medium saucepan, add the onion and cook until soft, about 3 minutes.
Add the garlic and remaining ingredients.
Simmer 30 minutes, stirring, adding additional hot sauce and spices to taste.
Use this delicious sauce as a marinade, or baste it on pastured chicken or pork as it cooks on the grill. Spoon over slow cooked grass-fed beef brisket or pulled pork. Or get creative and dollop over grass-fed beef hamburgers in crisp lettuce wraps. Round out the meal with a savory cabbage slaw and sweet potato “fries” for a firework-worthy feast your whole family will enjoy!

Cabbage Slaw Recipe:
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 lb green cabbage, cored and cut into 3-inch chunks, then finely chopped or shredded
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 1 large carrot, coarsely grated
- 1 1/4 cups organic (olive oil only) based mayonnaise
- Optional: For a blast of fiber an nutrition, Try using part of an avocado instead of the entire amount of mayo
- 1/3 cup Apple cider vinegar
- Raw organic honey or liquid stevia to taste.
What To Do
Toss all vegetables in a large bowl with 1 tsp each of salt and pepper to taste. Whisk together mayonnaise, (avocado if using) vinegar, and sweetener, then toss with slaw. Chill, covered, stirring occasionally, at least 1 hour (for vegetables to wilt and flavors to blend).
Make Ahead: Slaw can be chilled up to 1 day.
To Recap:
One sure way to get a lean body is to decide to eat healthier versions of traditionally high sugar, highly processed junk we are used to getting from the store. Above you will find my favorite recipe re-makes that actually taste better than the usual traditional versions.
