  • 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp. celery seed

Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and celery, saute until softened. Add celery seeds and stir fry for one minute. Add mustard and stir until dissolved. Add ketchup, sweet chili sauce, vinegar, agave and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until lightly thickened, 10-15 minutes.
