Categories     condiment

Time 1h

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cloves garlic, peeled
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus a generous pinch for the garlic
3 cups cola
1 1/2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 slightly heaping tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus additional for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, plus additional for seasoning
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Steps:

  • Smash the garlic cloves, sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt, and, with the flat side of a large knife, mash and smear mixture to a coarse paste.
  • Stir garlic paste, the 1/4 teaspoon salt, cola, ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, chili powder, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, and allspice together in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, about 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, stir in the lime juice, and season with black pepper and hot sauce, to taste.
  • Know-How: Barbecue sauces are all about balance: a sweet note offset by sour with a jolt of spice, all of which flourish in a cloud of smoke. There are lots of ways to work this magic-thick, thin, and in-between. Concocting a signature sauce is compulsory in some barbecue circles. Start with this basic riff and play with variations to suit your style.

COCA-COLA BARBECUE SAUCE



Coca-Cola Barbecue Sauce image

This is an awesome Barbecue Sauce. The taste is "just perfect". A lot of the bottled sauces are too tangy, too strong, etc. This does not get super thick and it has more of a mild flavor. You can use it on anything but the author highly recommends it on Chicken, ribs and pork. The recipe is from Steven Raichlen, author of The "Barbecue Bible".

COCA-COLA BARBECUE SAUCE



Coca-Cola Barbecue Sauce image

You might not think of Coca-Cola as the base for a barbecue sauce, but in this recipe, the sweetness of the soda helps to enhance the flavor.

Provided by Derrick Riches

Categories     Condiment     Sauce

Time 22m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups/475 milliliters Coca-Cola (or similar cola)
2 cups/475 milliliters ketchup
1/2 large onion (finely chopped)
1/4 cup/60 milliliters white vinegar
1/4 cup/60 milliliters brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 milliliters chili powder (mild)
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 milliliters salt (use less if preferred)
1/2 teaspoon/2.5 milliliters black pepper (use less if preferred)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, add all of the ingredients. Place it on the stovetop over medium heat and bring the sauce up to a boil. Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook the sauce for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and let it cool for 10 minutes before using. If you are making the sauce ahead, let the sauce cool completely and place it into an airtight plastic container or jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week after preparation. Warm it before using. Discard the sauce if you see any mold forming or it produces an unpleasant odor. Coca-Cola adds more than sugar (in the form of high fructose corn syrup). It has tartness due to phosphoric acid, similar to the tartness of the vinegar that is a basic part of barbecue sauce. The flavorings in Coke are a closely held secret. Certainly, there are essential citrus oils of orange, lime, and lemon. Lab analysis has found the aromas of cinnamon, vanilla, and nutmeg, and some suspect there is lavender as well. You will also get different results based on the ketchup you use. Most brands also have high fructose corn syrup providing sugar, plus vinegar and spices that include allspice, cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. If you use your own homemade ketchup, you will have more control over what goes into your barbecue sauce.

COCA-COLA BBQ SAUCE FOR RIBS



Coca-Cola BBQ Sauce for Ribs image

I love the sauce used on these BBQ'ed ribs, as does everyone that has tried them. I use the Country Style Pork Ribs and I prefer cooking them on the grill using indirect heat for hours, but I have used the oven as well. I mop the sauce on often and generously. I serve the sauce on-the-side as well. Recipe Origin - Jim Budros

COCA-COLA BARBECUE SAUCE



COCA-COLA BARBECUE SAUCE image

Categories     Sauce     Tomato     Dinner

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, peeled and minced
2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
2 Tbsp. ground New Mexico chili powder
1 Tbsp. ground Chipotle chili powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tsp. dried thyme, rubbed between your fingers
1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 C. Coca-Cola (or other cola)
1 C. tomato ketchup
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1/4 c. molasses
3 Tbsp. honey
1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp. Balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over low heat. Add the shallot, garlic, chili powders, cumin, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cover, and cook, stirring a few times, for about 10-12 minutes. The object is to sweat, not saute the shallots. Stir in the Coke, ketchup, lime juice, molasses, honey, Dijon mustard, and Balsamic vinegar, and bring to a simmer. Cook the sauce, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Stir the sauce occasionally. Cook the sauce longer for more reduction, if you'd like a thicker sauce. Cool the sauce to room temperature before using. This will keep for about five days under refrigeration and covered.

Tips:

  • To make a thicker sauce, simmer it for longer over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • For a sweeter sauce, add more brown sugar or honey.
  • For a spicier sauce, add more chili powder or cayenne pepper.
  • You can also add other spices to your sauce, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • If you don't have Coca-Cola, you can use another type of cola, such as Pepsi or Dr. Pepper.

Conclusion:

Coca-Cola barbecue sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make sauce that can be used on a variety of meats, chicken, and fish. It's also a great sauce for dipping vegetables and french fries. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and versatile sauce that your whole family will love.
