Dirty New Orleans Voodoo BBQ Sauce Recipe

[ad_1]

This sauce is dirty, down and dirty, meaning we got down to the bottom of things, to the true ingredients of what a sauce should be. In New Orleans people may move slowly, but no one has the time to play around.

The world is full of things these days added to our food that aren’t dirty but are downright ungodly. Gmo monstrosities, high frack-toes corn syrup, pesticides, it’s a wonder our bodies aren’t in even worse shape. A few years back I began to make some difficult changes in how I ate and how I choose the food I would be placing in my body. My choices were informed by science, logic, and spirit, like most good decisions.

Shhhhhhh, It’s a Secret!

Everyone has their own recipe for BBQ sauce, family honor has been lost and won on such a battleground. I’ve heard of people putting everything from Chai tea to Cola in their secret concoctions and the results are well, as can be expected. When we talk about the Southern region of the U.S., BBQ sauce almost becomes a religion. Yet when I look on my store shelves my eyes begin to get teary, and not from the heat in the sauce. The supermarket selections are pitiful and plenty. Most of the major brands are located in Chicago or St. Louis, not that they can’t make BBQ sauce in these places, but it isn’t the stuff of legend. The ingredient lists are as a long as my arm, not that that’s a bad thing, but half of these chemicals I can’t even pronounce. Making your own sauce may take a few minutes, but the taste and benefits are well worth the effort.
