Easy Mexican sauce with chile de arbol
Servings: 4 people
Calories: 70kcal
Cost: 5
Ingredients
- 12 Medium sized tomatoes
- 10 Dried chile de arbol If you are using fresh, go only for 5
- 1 Onion Go red for the antioxidants!
- 3/4 ounce Coriander
- 1 teaspoon Veggie stock powder Optional
- 2 Medium sized cloves of garlic
- 2 tbsp Canola oil Olive oil also works, optional!
Instructions
- Get your ingredients
- Put a non-stick pan or casserole, at medium fire
- Chop the onion into relatively small pieces and add them to the pan
- Mince the garlic
- Chop the onion
- Once the onion is caramelized (about 5 minutes) add the garlic
- Remove the stems and most of the seeds of the dried chilies and chop them into small pieces. If you are using fresh chilies, do the same, but add half the quantity as I found them more spicy
- Add the chilies and the coriander
- Reduce the intensity of the fire and stir everything from time to time with a wooden spatula
- Chop the tomatoes in squares and continue stiring from time to time
- Add the tomatoes and stir very well. Cover with a lid and let it simmer for about 20 minutes
- You'll have to "mash" the tomatoes once they have been softened
- Let the sauce cool down and use it on everything!
- You can blend it, but I actually prefer to see and feel the texture of all the different ingredients!
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Oil and veggie stock are not necessary! but they do give some extra kick to the recipe
- If you are too sensitive to spiciness, maybe start with one or two chilies and increase the amount until you are happy with the result. I think 10 chilies is just the right amount as long as you remove the stems and seeds!
