I brought this to a friends house for an appetizer and they went quick!! I keep the dry rub on hand for chicken, shrimp or grilled calamari.
This has to be tasty since it is almost an exact copy of my recipie I came up with in 2000, and has been used in at least three restuarants since. To make it better I would substitute shallots for red onion. And I found that warming the sauce after it came out of the cuisinart will take away some of the tartness from the sauce.
