Monkey+Gland+Sauce

Monkey Gland Sauce

Monkey Gland Sauce is a BBQ-type sauce, eaten in South Africa with steaks, burgers, chicken, sausages, or roast beef. It was invented at a luxury hotel in Cape Town in the 1950s. Many South African food chains serve burgers with Monkey gland sauce. When the sauce was first created, there was some speculation around the sauce because of the rumors that monkey glands could be used to help keep one looking young.

Monkey gland does not actually consist of monkey glands. The sauce is made using ingredients such as chopped onion, garlic and ginger, chutney, soy sauce, mustard, worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and wine.
