BBQ SAUCE INSTRUCTIONS:
• In a small saucepan, over medium heat, bring the sugar and water to a simmer. Cook until a dark caramel forms (do not burn…no smoke) immediately add the vinegar to dissolve the caramel. Remove to the side.
• In another saucepan, heat the olive oil and cook the onions over medium heat for two minutes to soften the onions.
• Add the garlic and thyme and cook together for 1 additional minute.
• Combine the onion mixture with the sugar mixture.
• Add the ketchup, tabasco, Worcestershire, black pepper and consommé.
• Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, until it resembles a BBQ sauce consistency. Hold.
INSTRUCTIONS
• In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, add the oil, onions and peppers. Cook for 2 minutes, until the vegetables are still slightly crunchy in the middle.
• Stir in the paprika and the oregano. Add the pork and the BBQ sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook until it reaches a thick and sloppy consistency.
• Toast the potato rolls under the broiler.
• Place a healthy amount of the Sloppy Joe
mixture on the bun.
• Top with the pickles and some chips. Crunch the top of the bun down and enjoy with more chips on the side.
