BBQ Sauce With a “Twang” ~ For Meats, Tofu, & More

BBQ sauce with a “twang” is how I best describe this sauce. Pork loins on the barbecue with this sauce are amazing. But don’t limit yourself; try it on burgers (regular or veggie), chicken, steak, or baked tofu.

This sauce is gluten-free and a cinch to make.

You can make a fantastic homemade sauce in just a couple of minutes. While it is simmering, heat up the barbecue or Ninja Foodi Smart Grill. I have a Ninja grill, and I love it. The sauce can be added to the meat at the end of the grilling time before serving or as a dipping sauce.  

I suggest serving this bbq sauce in individual dishes for each person. 

Here Are A Few Other Ways To Enjoy BBQ Sauce With A Twang:

• On a toasted bun for a tasty barbecue sandwich.
• Add to a vegan sandwich with baked tofu or a grilled portabella mushroom.
• Use as a dipping sauce for chicken or vegetarian nuggets.
• Try some on your next hamburger instead of ketchup.
