Notes

  • Chef Notes:
  • Make-Ahead: You can make this up to 3 days ahead of time. The longer it sits the more flavors that will come out.
  • How to Reheat: Add the desired amount to a small size saucepot and cook over low heat until warm.
  • How to Store: Cover and keep in the refrigerator for up to 21 days. This will not freeze well.
  • Substitute the onion and garlic granules with powder.
  • You can lightly caramelize finely minced garlic and onions in oil before adding it to this recipe substituting for the onion and garlic granules.
  • This would go excellent with beef, pork, chicken, and French fries.
