Recipe: Dave's World Famous BBQ Basting Sauce

This recipe comes from The Barbecue America Cookbook by Rick Browne and Jack Bettridge. Now, I'm not sure who Dave is, but this sauce makes a pretty good basting sauce for fish.

Dave's World Famous BBQ Basting Sauce
2 sticks (1 cup) butter
1/3 cup lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Melt butter and add remaining ingredients. Use to baste salmon, albacore or other firm fish while cooking Makes about 1 1/3 cups.

Now, why post a recipe without a cook story? Well there's a few reasons, but the top reason is that Lynette over at Lex Culinaria is hosting an one time summer barbeque challenge -- "between now and May 13, 2006 cook and write a post about a barbeque dish that you think is special." Lynette is looking to build a "virtual recipe book of fantastic barbeque dishes to inspire our backyard and campground cooking all summer long."

Silly girl, doesn't she know that barbeque isn't just for summer anymore?
