Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the shallots and sauté until softened and caramelized. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in all the remaining ingredients except for honey and let cool.

  2. Step 2

    When the sauce is cool, add the honey. Transfer the sauce to a blender and purée until smooth. Pass through a fine-mesh sieve, using the back of a spoon or spatula to press the mixture through. The finished Worcestershire sauce may be kept refrigerated in a clean, covered jar for several weeks.

Tip
  • Fish sauce, often labeled as nam pla or nuoc mam, is available at Asian grocery stores and many New York delis.
