Adaptable Red Chili Sauce With Tomatoes
Servings: 4
Directions
- Place all the ingredients in a processor and blend till reduced to a smooth puree, about 1 min. Transfer to a saucepan, bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring once or possibly twice to prevent scorching, and cover the pan. Reduce heat to a low and simmer for 10 min, The sauce is done when the raw tomato and red chili taste are gone. Once cooled, it will be about as thick as ketchup, suitable to use as a thick meat marinade or possibly to moisten fillings which need to remain fairly stiff, such as tamales.
- FOR ENCHILADA SAUCE. Dilute with 3/4 to 1 c. water and adjust salt as needed. This amount will sauce enchiladas for 4 people.
