Transform the last remnants of ketchup in your bottle into a delicious Marie Rose-style dressing with just a few simple ingredients. This quick and easy sauce combines mayonnaise, chili sauce, lemon juice, and a splash of your favorite spirit to create a creamy, tangy, and slightly spicy condiment. All this can be achieved in minutes without dirtying any extra dishes.
To prepare this Ketchup Bottle Marie Rose Sauce, you’ll need about 5 to 6 tablespoons of mayonnaise, a teaspoon of sweet vermouth, vodka, brandy, or cognac, and 1 to 3 tablespoons of sriracha, Tabasco, or another chili sauce, depending on your taste preference. Add a small squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper. Ensure your ketchup bottle still contains 1 to 2 tablespoons of ketchup.
Start by leaving the remaining ketchup in the bottle and adding the mayonnaise, your chosen spirit, chili sauce, and lemon juice directly into it. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Secure the bottle’s lid tightly and shake it vigorously until the ingredients blend into a smooth and creamy sauce. Adjust the seasoning to your taste by adding more chili sauce for heat, lemon juice for acidity, or mayonnaise to make it milder and creamier.
Once the dressing is ready, you can squeeze it directly from the bottle onto your food. For an added touch of flavor and color, sprinkle a bit of paprika on top. This sauce pairs exceptionally well with prawns, avocado, lettuce, and cucumber in a classic-style prawn cocktail. It’s also a versatile topping for burgers, salads, roasted vegetables, or crispy avocado fries, making it a handy recipe for using up the last bit of ketchup in a creative way rather than letting it go to waste.
