BBQ Dip With Roasted Vegetables


Are you a football fan?  I am and this weekend is a major holiday in my home. Superbowl Sunday. The Denver Broncos vs. the Carolina Panthers. So the plan is to have an assortment of make-ahead dishes so that I can set everything out and not move until the end of the game.  Since the commercials are as "must see" as the game...no breaks allowed

I created this dip as a sauce for roast pork sandwiches. I was catering a Scotch tasting party and needed appetizers that were appropriate. I stuffed mini sweet Hawaiian rolls with spinach and pork and drizzled the slightly spicy bbq sauce over the top. They were gobbled up and everyone raved about the sauce so I decided to serve the rest as a dip for roasted vegetables. The result was delicious!


This easy, breezy recipe is made with homemade bbq sauce, but you could substitute a purchased version and stir in a tablespoon of bourbon. Try using as a dip, as a topping for sandwiches or drizzle over steamed vegetables. I think it would be delicious on baked potatoes. Give it a try and tell me how you would use.



BBQ Dip with Roasted Vegetables
2 cups mayonnaise
1/2 to 3/4 cup Bourbon BBQ sauce (recipe follows)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
sea salt
black pepper
an assortment of roasted vegetables. (I like asparagus and peppers but use whatever you like)
assorted crackers, chips, toast points 

Combine mayo, 1/2 cup bbq sauce, parsley and a pinch each salt & pepper in a medium sized bowl. Stir to combine. Taste and add additional bbq sauce if you like. Adjust seasonings as needed. Cover and chill for 2 hours to allow flavors to develop. Can be made up to 24 hours in advance.

Bourbon BBQ Sauce Recipe
2 cups organic ketchup
½ cup balsamic vinegar
¼ cup smoked brown sugar (or dark brown sugar and 1 teaspoon soy sauce)
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1½ tsp. cayenne pepper
1½ tsp. celery seeds
2 cloves garlic, minced
1½ Tsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. Kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 tablespoon bourbon or Scotch


In a bowl, whisk together ketchup, vinegar, sugar, mustard, cayenne,  celery, garlic, cumin,  salt, pepper, and bourbon; set aside. 

This recipe makes more than you will need. The remaining sauce can be kept, covered, in the fridge for 2 weeks. Use as you would with any bbq sauce.

  3. HELLO GET OUT OF FINANCIAL MESS WITH THE HELP OF drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com

    I have been in financial mess for the past months, I’m a single mum with kids to look after. My name is REBECCA MICHAELSON, and am from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. A couple of weeks ago My friend visited me and along our discussion she told me about DR BENJAMIN OWEN FINANCE of drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com that he can help me out of my financial situation, I never believed cause I have spend so much money on different loan lenders who did nothing other than running away with my money. She advised, I gave it a try because she and some of her colleagues were rescued too by this Godsent lender with loans to revive their dying businesses and paying off bills. so I mailed him and explain all about my financial situation and therefore took me through the loan process which was very brief and easy. After that my loan application worth $278,000.00USD was granted, all i did was to follow the processing and be cooperative and today I am a proud business owner sharing the testimony of God-sent Lender. You can as well reach him through the Company Email drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com

    THANK YOU VERY MUCH
