Sometimes making something from scratch is the thing to do. Either we cannot get the same results any other way or we just truly enjoy the time in the kitchen. And then sometimes we want something quick and easy but we don’t want to sacrifice flavor.

This Rhubarb BBQ Sauce is a quickie recipe based on the Classic flavor of FODY BBQ Sauce and it is fantastic! Sweet, hot, tangy, thick and luscious and equally at home on slow-cooked pork, grilled chicken, fish or even tofu and vegetables.

Rhubarb has shown to contain no detectable FODMAPs in lab testing, and we love using it in both sweet as well as savory recipes. You might have noticed that we have a cake or two, a tart, chutney and more.

Just put “rhubarb” into our filter and you will see what we mean.

You can also read all about this vegetable in our Ingredients column.

There are several fruit that have had no FODMAPs detected during lab testing, such as grapes, strawberries, papaya and rhubarb. Monash has been moving away from language that says “no FODMAPs detected”, but it does not change that the produce that have shown no FODMAPs in lab testing, can indeed, contain no FODMAPs.

Please read our article, When Low FODMAP Lab Testing Differs to understand the big picture.

Add the FODY BBQ Sauce, rhubarb, brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, celery seed, cumin, smoked paprika and as much chipotle pepper as you like and stir together well.

Tips

  • I have made this sauce a few times and have on occasion doubled the amount of FODY BBQ Sauce and used 2 bottles with the same amount of other ingredients. The first time I did this I needed lots of sauce and didn’t have time to start from scratch. So I simply added another bottle of sauce to the simmering pot of sauce and it worked very well! So if you want more rhubarb flavor, make it as described above. If you need lots of sauce or just love the flavor from the bottled sauce, add another bottle!
