Christine’s Awesome BBQ Seasoning & Sauce
Here’s what you’ll need for the blended seasoning:
Green pepper: Adds a mild sweetness and fresh, crisp flavor.
Red pepper: Brings a touch of heat and vibrant color to the mix.
Yellow pepper: For a mellow sweetness and balance to the spice.
Garlic: The ultimate flavor booster with its bold, aromatic kick.
Cilantro: Infuses freshness and a hint of citrusy zest.
Vinaigrette: Adds tanginess and binds the flavors together.
Salt: Enhances the natural flavors and ties the seasoning together.
Onion: For a sweet-savory base that enriches every bite.
Jalapeño: A spicy touch for those who love a little heat.
How to Use It
Blend all the ingredients until smooth, and let the mixture rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Use the blended seasoning as a marinade for meat, fish, or vegetables.
For BBQ sauce, mix the seasoning with a base of tomato puree, honey, and a splash of vinegar, then simmer until thickened.
Why Seasoning Matters
Seasoning isn’t just about taste—it’s about health and satisfaction. A well-seasoned dish reduces the need for excess oil, sugar, or unhealthy additives. With the right blend of herbs, spices, and fresh ingredients, you can make healthy food taste as indulgent as your favorite guilty pleasure.
