Coach J's Diet and Nutrition Advice

I don’t know about you firebreathers but I am excited to start summer grilling.  Actually I’m ready for Tin Man to start earning his keep at the Lineberg household and put his grilling talents to good use!!  The kitchen is comfortable for me,  the grill – not so much.  I think men have a grilling gene that replaced the “ability to find anything” gene!! 

Ok, so enough about the inferior sex, let’s get down to food.  Continuing  my journey through the Primal Blueprint Cookbook, I discovered primal BBQ sauce.  I threw some together on Memorial Day and brought it to a family get-together (along with walnut-meal brownies which I will post at a later date).  My brother-in-law slathered it on some Harvestland chicken and grilled it to perfection.

This recipe is quick, easy and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Ingredients

• 1 cup homemade ketchup (see recipe under Grandma’s BBQ pork post) 
• 3 Tbsp minced onion (or 3 tsp onion powder)
• 2-3 Tbsp butter
• 1-2 Tbsp freshly squeezed orange juice
• Scant 1/4 cup dark maple syrup, or to taste
• 1-2 Tbsp HFCS -free Worcestershire sauce
• 1 Tbsp chili powder
• 1 Tbsp cider vinegar
• 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/2 tsp blackstrap molasses (optional.  I didn’t have any)

Mix all ingredients together in a small pan and simmer over low heat 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Store in an airtight glass in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
