Instructions
1
|
Peel and finely dice the onions and garlic. Wash the chili, remove the seeds if desired (to reduce the heat), and cut it into thin strips.
2
|
Heat half of the oil in a pan and sauté the shallots for about 5 minutes. Gradually add a splash of warm water to prevent the shallots from burning.
3
|
Add the remaining oil, garlic, chili, smoked salt, and smoked paprika, and sauté together for about 1–2 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.
4
|
Reduce the heat slightly and deglaze with the pureed tomatoes. Add the mustard, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and honey, and simmer for 10–15 minutes, until the sauce is nicely thickened.
5
|
Remove the pot from the heat and season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, chili flakes, vinegar, or honey. If desired, you can also blend the sauce for a smoother texture.
6
|
Let the sauce cool, transfer it to an airtight glass container, and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Smoked Depth Technique 🔥Toast your smoked paprika and whole spices in a dry pan for 30-60 seconds before adding to the sauce to intensify their smoky flavor profile.
- Vinegar Balance Secret 🍶Gradually add apple cider vinegar and taste as you go to prevent the sauce from becoming too acidic, allowing you to control the tanginess precisely.
- Natural Sweetness Hack 🍯Instead of processed honey, consider using a small amount of pureed dates or monk fruit sweetener for a more complex, sugar-free sweetness.
- Texture Mastery Trick 🥄Use an immersion blender or fine-mesh strainer to ensure a perfectly smooth consistency, removing any chunks of shallots or garlic.
- Flavor Layering Technique 🌶️Bloom your chili peppers and spices in canola oil before adding other ingredients to extract maximum flavor and create a more rounded sauce base.
