BARBECUE SAUCE THAT DOESN’T CONTAIN ANY SUGAR

Warning! Almost all barbecue sauces contain an absurd amount of sugar. Per bottle an average of seven teaspoons of sugar is used. But that’s what you get when you buy them pre-made and packaged. Hence the reason I’ve been trying to get everyone to spend more time in the kitchen instead of opting for the easier way out. So I’m trying it again: a fresh sauce for your BBQ sausages and steamed salmon. You’re welcome!

Cucumber raita

Wat je nodig hebt:

1 cucumber

a bowl of Turkish yoghurt

1 teaspoon of cumin powder

1 lemon

chives

pepper and salt

How to make it

Grate the cucumber and let it drain for about fifteen minutes in a strainer. Then add 5 full tablespoons of Turkish yoghurt, a pinch of pepper and salt and a teaspoon of cumin powder. Add the grated cucumber and mix it together. Add a small squeeze of lemon juice and some chopped chives. Serve it cold (out of the fridge).

And if you’ve got any cucumber left, why not use it for your gin tonics?
