This ancho chile BBQ sauce is a new way to enjoy your favourite BBQ sauce. This is filled with spicy and earth flavours that are perfect for homemade burgers.
In a large saucepan, add the oil and melt the butter.
Add the onion, garlic, and chilli, and cook on moderate heat until the onion has turned translucent for about 5 minutes.
Add and stir in all of the remaining ingredients and bring to a simmer. Put a lid on the saucepan and cook over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring sporadically.
Using a silicone spatula, scrape the sauce into a blender (or use a hand blender), and blend until smooth. At this point, taste the sauce and adjust spices if necessary; add a pinch of chilli flakes if it needs more of a kick or some more syrup to sweeten it some more.
