Recipe: Braai Sauce

Here in South Africa, the Afrikaans word for barbecue is braai. This recipe is expensive but very tasty, and it freezes well. It's delicious with any braaied meat and if you're feeling adventurous, it's good with braaied Polenta ( porridge or mielie pap) or spooned over fried eggs for breakfast.

2 large onions
2 cloves garlic
50ml oil
1 can (410g) tomato purée
1 packet oxtail soup powder
500ml boiling water
1 bottle (470g) fruit chutney
30ml white sugar
A few drops Tabasco sauce

Instructions:
