A few great tasting gourmet ideas with ketchup

By Gina Portwood


Good food is loved by everyone. Whether it is at home or in our favorite restaurant, a quality dining experience just sets off the day in a special way.

The factor that makes food special is the ingredients and the method of preparation. A certain type of ingredient will enhance the quality of the food when nothing else can.

Recipes comprise of numerous factors. Ketchup is one of the interesting ingredients.

Are there gourmet recipes that have ketchup?

There is a special zest in adding ketchup to some recipes. The recipe is made special using ketchup. The recipe is called Barbecued Catfish. The sauce is formed by mixing all the ingredients in a cup of ketchup. The cat-fish is marinated within the mixture and let to stand in the fridge for 15 minutes. The fillets are then basted with sauce while continuously cooking them within 12 minutes after which, you will have yourself a fine meal.

Another of my favorite recipes that is enhanced by ketchup is called Crockpot Sloppy Joes. The method is to mix the ingredients and cook them in a crock-pot for 6 hours and afterwards serving them on a toasted hamburger bun for a great meal.

How about your favorite barbecued spareribs. The recipe for this involves using cup of ketchup for glazing your barbecued spareribs for an exquisite taste. All the ingredients are mixed together and then poured over the ribs. For an extra flavor, the ribs are marinated for 3-4 hours prior to baking them for that exquisite taste.

You can take this interesting recipe that involves mixing a cup of ketchup with a cup of root beer, lemon juice and also some Worchester sauce and brown sugar. This is brought to boil with occasional stirring. It is then simmered until you have about of the volume. You can season to taste. This makes a wonderful barbecue sauce. You can keep the sauce in the fridge until you need it some other time.

Barbecued Tex-Mex Wings are also one of the recipes. You add cup of ketchup to the other ingredients to produce a basting sauce. Your wings are placed on the grill while you are basting them. You might burn them by basting as there is a high sugar content. After 10 minutes, you might be having some good wings courtesy of ketchup.

This is just an example of some of my favorite recipes with ketchup. My friends pester me on the condiment though all these recipes be very tasty. Luckily I buy in bulk or use ketchup coupons every chance I get.
