This is a variant of the classic barbecue sauce, indispensable for marinading chicken thighs and spare-ribs for barbecues. The recipe itself is a true fusion of the Oriental and the African.

Ingredients:

220ml Gin
220ml dark beer
200g brown sugar
180ml cider vinegar
2 tbsp grated orange zest
4 tbsp freshly-squeezed orange juice
120g finely-chopped onion
1 tbsp curry powder
3/4 tsp freshly-grated ginger
2 tsp baobab (kuka) leaves
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 hot chilli, pounded to a paste
1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)

Method:

Combine all the ingredients (except for 2 tbsp of the orange juice and the cornflour). Bring to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes; stirring occasionally.

Mix the cornflour with the remaining 2 tbsp of orange juice to form a smooth paste. Stir this into the sauce and increase the heat. Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens. To use brush the sauce on grilled chicken, steak or fish during last 5 minutes of grilling. (Should make about 500ml.)
