Keto and low carb barbecue sauce

Sides and sauces heelsandspices

Barbecue – love it. Barbecue sauce? Love it too, although it was an acquired taste “imported” from South Africa, as in my country it is not common to add barbecue sauce, we make our ribs and wings simple, with just salt and pepper.

This recipe came instinctively (I told you before, many of my recipe are just like this), as I was adding ingredients to the pan. It is sticky, smoky, spice and so so so delicious!

Enjoy with your ribs, burnt ends, wings, whatever you feel like!

I must confess that barbecue sauce is an "imported" taste from South Africa, as in Portugal our ribs and wings are made with only salt and pepper. I do love it though and this recipe happened just a few days ago. I was cooking short ribs and my son asked me if I had barbecue sauce or if I could make it. And I did make it, adding ingredients and tasting until I was happy with the result.
