 Coca-Cola
Barbecue Sauce
from
Steven
Raichlen
Dare to be different. That's Jim Budros's motto, and his culinary
open-mindedness has won the financial advisor turned pit bull
boss a championship at the Kansas City Royal International
Barbecue Contest. What's different about his barbecue sauce
is its main flavoring, an ingredient most people are more
likely to drink than cook with: Coke! This isn't quite as
strange as it sounds, because Coke is sweet, tart, and spicy
- the flavor profile of most great barbecue sauces. Incidentally,
pot roast braised in Coca-Cola is a favorite in Venezuela.
1 cup Coca Cola
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1/2 cup A-1 Steak Sauce
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Combine all the ingredients in a heavy, non-reactive saucepan
and gradually bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the
heat slightly to obtain a gentle simmer. Simmer the sauce
until reduced by a quarter, 6 to 8 minutes. Use right away
or transfer to a large jar, cover, cool to room temperature,
and refrigerate. The sauce will keep for several months.
Makes 2 cups .

Barbecue Bible
