This sweet and spicy sauce is a great accompaniment to any summer barbecue. Serve with burgers, grilled meats or prawns.
INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 onions, sliced
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1½ teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon chilli flakes
6 cloves garlic, chopped
400-gram tin tomatoes
410-gram tin peaches, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon brown sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
200ml boiling water (see Cook’s note)
salt and cracked pepper
METHOD
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over a low-medium heat. Add the onions and fry until golden. Add the paprika, cumin, chilli and garlic and fry until aromatic, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, peaches, chipotle hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar and salt. Cook over a low heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Spoon the sauce into a food processor or blender and blitz until completely puréed. Return to the pot and add the boiling water. Simmer for 10 minutes then set aside to cool. Season to taste.
