Brisket, Barbecued with Mango BBQ Sauce

Happy Father’s Day! In our family June is loaded with celebrations! Birthdays, graduations, Father’s Day. So today we’ll read lots of cards, open gifts and have a barbecue, including Texas style brisket. I braise the brisket first until it’s tender, then slather it with sauce and grill it until it’s crispy. Here’s one of the sauces I use:

MANGO BARBECUE SAUCE


1 large ripe mango
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup bottled chili sauce
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup molasses
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper


Peel the mango and puree the flesh in a food processor. Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for one minute. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the mango puree, chili sauce, orange juice, molasses, soy sauce and cayenne pepper. Stir to blend the ingredients thoroughly. Cook over low-medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until slightly thickened. Let cool.
