2teaspoonDijon mustard
200mlapple juice
Instructions
Finely chop the the onion and garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the onion and garlic for 5 minutes until starting to turn translucent, add the salt and turn the pan to a low heat.
Pull the leaves from your lemon thyme sprigs and roughly chop the coriander.
Add the herbs to the onion mix and give it a good stir.
Pour in the water, add the bay leaves, ground fennel and smoked paprika.
Add the sugar and stir gently until dissolved.
Add the zest and juice of the oranges.
Stir in the apple cider vinegar, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and apple juice.
Leave the sauce on a low heat and cook for 15 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves and use a stick blender to puree your sauce.
If you want a smooth sauce then you can pass it through a sieve but I like the texture of this as it is.
