Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add ⅓ cup chopped shallots or red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat if you see browning.
-
Step 2.
Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Step 3.
Add 1 tablespoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon dry mustard, and ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper. Stir constantly for 1 minute.
-
Step 4.
Add 1 cup pinot noir or other light-bodied red wine. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the wine is reduced by about one-fourth to one-third.
-
Step 5.
Add 1 cup ketchup and bring back to a simmer, stirring, for about 5 minutes.
-
Step 6.
Remove from heat and let cool. Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate overnight. Shake before using. The sauce will thicken when chilled; to thin, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until desired consistency.
