Simple Recipe Box

Hello, fellow flavor seekers! Welcome back to the Simple Recipe Box podcast. I’m your host, Ben Harper, here to guide you through another delicious culinary adventure. Today, we’re diving into a sauce that’s as fun to say as it is to eat: Ken’s Boom Boom Sauce. This sauce is a game-changer for any dish, adding just the right blend of tangy, sweet, and spicy flavors.

Let’s start with what you’ll need. Grab your apron and jot down these ingredients: 1 cup of mayonnaise, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 1 tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce, 1 tablespoon yellow mustard, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Optional but recommended for an extra kick – 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh cilantro.

Now, why choose Ken’s Boom Boom Sauce? It’s not just about the ease of mixing a few ingredients. It’s about transforming your meals. Whether you’re dressing up some crispy fries, slathering it on a burger, or dipping some grilled veggies, this sauce adds a burst of flavor that makes simple food spectacular.

Let’s get into the making. In a medium bowl, start by combining the mayonnaise and ketchup. These form the creamy, tangy base of our sauce. Next, stir in the sweet pickle relish for a hint of sweetness, followed by the hot sauce for that spicy kick. Mix in the mustard and Worcestershire sauce for depth and a slight tang. Season with garlic and onion powders, then salt and pepper. Remember, the key here is to taste as you go. Adjust any component to suit your palate.

Once everything is well mixed, cover your bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time helps the flavors meld together, creating a more cohesive taste.

And there you have it! Your very own homemade Ken’s Boom Boom Sauce. This sauce is incredibly versatile, perfect as a dip for your next party or a spread on sandwiches. It’s a simple way to elevate everyday meals into something extraordinary.

Remember, the beauty of home cooking is customization. Feel free to tweak the ingredients to make this sauce your own. More heat, less sweetness, a bit of smoky flavor – the possibilities are endless.

That’s all for today’s episode. Thanks for tuning in to the Simple Recipe Box podcast. I hope you enjoy making and tasting your Boom Boom Sauce as much as I do. Catch you next time, where we’ll explore another delightful recipe. Happy cooking, everyone!
