Whole 30 Barbecue Sauce

 From: 40 Aprons

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp ghee or coconut oil

1 cup yellow onion, diced

1/2 cup dates, chopped

3-4 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tsp mustard powder

1 Tbsp smoked paprika

1 6oz can tomato paste

1/2 cup coconut aminos

1 cup water or chicken stock

4 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

In a medium saucepan, heat the ghee or coconut oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 3-5 minutes or until translucent.

Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Transfer mixture to blender carefully (it will be very hot!). Blend on high speed until smooth. Season with salt.

Verdict:

I didn't care for this sauce. It was missing something for me... probably all the sugar from what I'm used to!! I'll have to keep messing with sauces to find a good barbecue recipe. Any that you love that are Whole 30 compliant?
