Wicked Sauce Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Sauté the Base Ingredients

   In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent (about 5 minutes).

2. 2

   Add Spices and Herbs

   Once the onion is translucent, stir in the paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to release the flavors.

3. 3

   Incorporate Liquids

   Add the tomato paste, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

4. 4

   Add Sweeteners

   Mix in the brown sugar until fully dissolved, ensuring a balanced sweetness to the sauce.

5. 5

   Simmer the Sauce

   Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

6. 6

   Finish and Serve

   Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If you like heat, add chili flakes to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired before serving.
