White Barbecue Sauce: Sweet, Sour, Tickling, and Tangy
Discovering Alabama's Unique White Barbecue Sauce
When you think of barbecue sauce, the typical tomato-based concoction might come to mind. However, Alabama’s white barbecue sauce offers a delightful twist, using mayonnaise as its primary base instead of the usual tomato.
A Different Kind of BBQ Sauce
Traditional BBQ sauces are often a blend of tomatoes, sugar, and vinegar, with variations including tomato paste, puree, or even ketchup. The sweetness usually comes from corn syrup, honey, or molasses, while the tangy notes are typically provided by different types of vinegar, wine, or citrus juices. These sauces can be applied at any stage of the grilling process.
The Origins of White Sauce
White barbecue sauce can trace its roots back to French cuisine, where béchamel sauce has been popular since 1651. Originally made by whisking scalded milk into a white flour-butter roux, its thickness varies based on the milk-to-flour ratio. In Alabama, this creamy sauce adds a delicate touch to grilled meats.
The Alabama Twist
Contrary to traditional sauces, Alabama’s white barbecue sauce predominantly features mayonnaise. It pairs beautifully with chicken, turkey, or pork, elevating the flavors to new heights. These sauces vary in color from porcelain to putty and differ in consistency from a thin liquid to a creamy dressing. According to purists like Myra Grissom, owner of Miss Myra's Pit Bar-B-Q in Birmingham, the essential ingredients include mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and coarsely ground pepper. Perfect for topping salads, pulled pork sandwiches, or grilled fish, they offer a versatile flavor boost.
Recommended Varieties
Notable options like Smuggler's Run White Grilling Sauce and Big Bob Gibson White BBQ Sauce are must-tries. These may include ingredients like egg yolks, corn syrup, vinegar, onion, garlic, and spices, delivering a flavor-packed experience.
Big Bob Gibson’s version, for example, features distilled vinegar, sugar, spices, mustard flour, and garlic. It pairs wonderfully with poultry, pork, seafood, and even wild game, making it a versatile addition to any meal.
