Z’s N.E. Carolina style BBQ sauce

This vinegar based sauce is such a versatile performer, I use it in a number of dishes. As you will see in the picture above, there’s a lot of particulants in this one, so you will want to give it a thorough shake before use. Once you’ve done that you will be rewarded with a sharply acidic splash able sauce that’s packed with a mild heat, mainly black-pepper forward.

I use this in quite a few dishes:

• Added to black beans with garlic, onions, bell peppers
• As a good punch to pinto beans for home made BBQ beans
• Splashed over raw veggies like cabbage to add bite to a side dish
• In tomato based sauces that need just a little pick me up or punch
