Paleo barbecue sauce

I wanted to make some pulled pork and most recipes had barbecue sauce in them so I decided to find a good recipe and make some sauce myself. Civilized caveman had a good recipe and I had all the ingredients at home. I only put in the chunks of the pineapple and not the juice since I wanted to save that for a drink later.

Ingredients
makes about 500 ml
1½ tomatoes, diced
½ onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, diced
250-300 g tomato paste
120 ml beef stock
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
½ tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp paprika powder
½ tsp sea salt
½-1 tsp cayenne pepper (all depending on how hot you want it)
230 g can of diced pineapple (without added sugar and other additives)

Combine all ingredients in a medium sized pot and place it over medium heat while stirring frequently. Once the sauce starts to boil, reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 1 hour. Make sure to check it and stir it every now and again so that it doesn't burn. Once the simmering is done, place the sauce in a blender, food processor or use a hand mixer (this is what I did) and run until you have a smooth consistency.

Not quite the ranch dressing that I'm used to from home but this is quite a delicious dressing.

120 ml coconut milk
½ tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder

Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
