🍅 Despite its name, monkey gland sauce does not contain animal glands.

Ingredients

180 g onion
8 g garlic
300 g tomato
15 g oil
100 g ketchup
80 g commercial fruit chutney
20 g Worcestershire sauce
30 ml vinegar
10 g brown sugar, to be reserved depending on products

Preparation

Finely chop onion and garlic; cut tomatoes. Heat oil then sauté onion for 7 minutes without burning.

Add garlic and tomatoes. Cook for 8 minutes, stirring to evaporate some of the water.

Stir in ketchup, chutney, Worcestershire, and vinegar. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes until it coats the back of a spoon.

Taste a small cooled spoonful. Add all or part of the 10 g of sugar only if the acid-sweet balance requires it; the provisional calculation includes the total amount.

Leave the sauce with its small pieces, or blend it if a smooth texture is desired. Divide into twelve condiment portions.
