and this is his famous Trini style bbq sauce. I am not a huge barby person, but this stuff is wonderful. It has the tang of the tropics, a touch of decandent Americana and the kids love it!

1 1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup tomato paste
1 1/2 cup water
1/4 cup grated onion
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped fresh thyme
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp diced fresh hot pepper (like habanero)
1/4 cup beer
1 tsp molasses
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp brown sugar

In a heavy saucepan over medium to low heat, combine ketchup, tomato paste, water, onions, fresh herbs, garlic, ginger salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Simmer for 15 - 20 minutes so herbs, garlic and ginger melt into the sauce. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for another 5 minutes until well blended and smooth. Use to coat chicken or other meat and keep some extra for dipping at the table. You're ready to go!
