Ingredients

• 125 ml vegetable stock
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed

• 1 tbsp Teriyaki- or Sojasauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 40 ml Bourbon Whiskey (e.g. Jack Daniels)
• chili powder (to taste)
• salt, freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add the onion. Cook about 4-5 minutes, until the onion pieces are slightly brown and softened.

Stir in the garlic and vegetable stock.

Add ketchup and season with salt, pepper and chili powder.

Mingle in the Whiskey and give the sauce a sweet touch with honey and Teriyaki sauce.

Simmer on low heat until the sauce thickens.

The sauce is also excellent for marinating.
