- 4 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Homemade Barbecue Sauce, recipe follows
- 10 to 12 sandwich buns
- 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Yield: 2/3 cup
- Homemade Barbecue Sauce*:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onions
- 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 1/4 teaspoons sweet paprika
- 2 teaspoons Essence, recipe follows
- 2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1 (6-ounce) can tomato paste
