Krivelshire Sauce (an LSCDL Recipe)

This recipe is a substitute for SCD-illegal Worcestershire

sauce. It comes out as a rather thick paste which must be refrigerated,

but lasts pretty well in the refrigerator. In many recipes, you can get

away with just adding a small amount of the spice mixture if you don't

have time to make the sauce. It appears here courtesy of and Sue

Krivel of Toronto, Ontario, who created it.

6 anchovy fillets

6 large fresh medjool dates

2 tsp. finely minced shallots

1/2 tsp. finely minced garlic

1 - 1 1/2 tsp. spice mixture (see below)

3 Tbsp. white vinegar

1/2 cup dry alcoholic apple cider*

1 medium bay leaf

Spice Mixture:

1/2 tsp. dried ground ginger

1/4 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. ground coriander seeds

1/4 tsp. ground allspice

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

In a small saucepan, mash anchovies and then mix well with pitted, finely

chopped dates, shallots, garlic, and spice mixture. Add liquid and mix.

Add bay leaf, and bring to a bubble.

Turn heat down as low as possible to keep mixture at a very gentle bubble

(you may need to put something between the pot and the burner.) Cook for

20 minutes, then let cool slightly.

Whiz until smooth in a blender or with a mixing wand. Refrigerate.

Consistency will be fairly thick and won't resemble Worcestershire sauce,

so don't worry.

The amount of spice mixture required will vary with the strength of the

anchovies’ flavor, the freshness of the dates, and the dryness of the

cider you have available to you.

* Finding an dry alcoholic apple cider which does not have added sugars

is well-nigh impossible in the U.S. and Canada since the closure of the

Barn Owl cider makers in Ontario. Krivel says that apple cider

vinegar can be used, but does not give quite the right taste. Likewise

non-alcoholic cider – useable, but not perfect.
