Bloody Mary Tomato Sauce

loody Mary Tomato Sauce is easy and versatile: serve as dip or dressing

Bloody Mary tomato sauce; a hint of heat makes this easy-to-make sauce a real winner. Use as a dip or sauce, it’s brilliantly versatile.

Bloody Mary Tomato Sauce is spicy, delicious and so versatile.There is a time and a place where the right answer is a Bloody Mary.   Usually for brunch the morning after the night before.

An easy way to stoke an argument is to disagree with a cocktail aficionado about what should go into a proper Bloody Mary: the main ingredients are easy: tomato juice, vodka, and Worcestershire sauce.  But from then it gets trickier. A hot sauce of some form is common, but should it be Tabasco, or something else? Celery salt, yes or no? A slice of lemon is a common garnish, but what about lemon juice? And finally, a stick of celery to stir it all with, complete with leaves at the top.

Bloody Mary Tomato Sauce is easy and versatile: serve as dip or dressingThe Bloody Mary is also the inspiration for this sauce. Taking tomato ketchup as its base, it adds the traditional ingredients of Worcester and chili sauces, celery salt and lemon juice.

Worcestershire Sauce (pronounced WOO-STER Sauce)  is a great Victorian invention; the secret recipe was invented by John Wheeley Lea and William Henry Perrins in the 1830 in the county that gave it its name. The original iteration was not a success, and it was only after a barrel had matured for some months that they decided that they had a winning condiment.  It was from the success of their sauce that they started the eponymous company Lea & Perrins.

Worcestershire has since been merged with its neighbouring county of Hereford and sits approximately one third of the way across the widest part of England and Wales.

The original Lea & Perrins gets its intense addictive umami flavour from fermented anchovies, but of course there are many vegetarian and vegan brands available.  We prefer the original in the bottle with the charismatic orange label.

Bloody Mary Tomato Sauce is easy and versatile: serve as dip or dressingThis Bloody Mary tomato sauce recipe is just a matter of mixing the ingredients, and adjusting the resulting sauce to taste. As no blender is needed, it’s perfect for when you’re away from your kitchen. There are many obvious uses: serve with steak, oysters, or barbecued chicken wings, or our freeze ahead chicken kebabs, and here are a few more ideas.

    I’m a big fan of chilli and tomatoes, so I say yes to chillies in a Bloody Mary. Nice idea to use your sauce as a dip.

    I love this idea, Helen. Very simple, clever and as you demonstrate multipurpose. My daughter bartends at a very posh golf club in the summer, and their “secret” Bloody Mary ingredient is sweet chilli sauce. It’s great!

          I think this is a preference with many people, a Bloody Mary drink isn’t for everyone.

    This is a genius idea for so many appetizers. I love a spicy kick when eating shrimp and think this would be the ideal dipper for shrimp, as well as on top of a burger or chicken. This recipe is a keeper :)
