No Tomatoes BBQ Sauce

 No Tomatoes

BBQ SAUCE!

Vegan, Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Rice Free, Soya Free, Refined Sugar Free.

Endometriosis, Crohns & Coeliac Safe.

Firstly I would like to clear up that if you are following the Endometriosis Diet you can eat tomatoes, Personally cannot eat tomatoes they upset me and people cant that are on the nightshade diet (Sensitivity to Peppers, Aubergines, White Potatoes & Tomatoes, These have been shown to cause inflammation in some people - so therefore the illimination of these foods became 'The Nightshade Diet')

so i challenged myself to create a no tomato BBQ Sauce.

Here it is!..It's still tangy and well i don't miss the tomatoes and this recipe is SIMPLE! 

Ingredients:

2 Medium Carrots

1 tbls Agave Nectar

2 Tsp Unrefined Light Brown Sugar

2 Tsp Parsely 

1 Tbls Grapeseed Ol 

1 Beetroot

1 Tsp Mace

1 Tsp Smoked Paprika

2 Tsp Dijon Mustard

1/2 Tsp All Spice

1/2 red onion

1/2 Tsp Balsamic Vinegar

1/2 Tsp Cyder Vinegar

Peel the carrot and chop it up if you'd like, you can just pop it in whole the vitamix will cope.










Place all the rest of the ingredients into the vitamix and blitz until pureed.

Taste a little, add other bits and bobs to make it to your taste, Blitz again to combine.

And there you go. Your very own no tomato BBQ Sauce.
