START TO FINISH: 45 minutes
SERVINGS: About 2 cups
INGREDIENTS:
1 tablespoon oil
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup chopped rhubarb
1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Salt and coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 tablespoon Dijon or spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
DIRECTIONS:
- Heat oil in a medium-size pot over medium heat.
- Sauté the onions for about 90 seconds, or until tender. Add the garlic, cooking another 1 minute.
- Stir in the rhubarb, chipotle and tomato paste. Add the paprika and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Add the ketchup, water, vinegar, molasses, mustard and Worcestershire sauce, stirring until combined.
- When the mixture begins to bubble, lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes, stirring often, until the rhubarb is very tender and the sauce has reduced a bit.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and allow to cool at least 10 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a food processor or blender and process until smooth. The sauce will be thick. Water or chicken stock can be added as needed for desired consistency.
