List of Ingredients




1/2 medium yellow onion; chopped, about 1 cup
1 teaspoon cumin seed; toasted and ground
salt; to taste
5 cloves fresh garlic; finely chopped
1 1/2 pounds fresh tomatoes, peeled, seeded, chopped


Recipe



Get a medium-sized nonstick saucepan very hot over high heat. Add the onions and cook without stirring for 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium and add the cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup water and mix well. Continue to saute over medium heat until the onion begins to release its juices, about 4 minutes; add the garlic and saute until the onion is soft, about 5 more minutes. Add the tomatoes (including reserved liquid if using canned), the Ancho Chile Puree, 1/2 teaspoon Chipotle Puree, and simmer over medium- low heat for 30 minutes. Add salt and Chipotle Puree to taste. Tip: If the sauce is acidic, add a little sugar to balance the flavors. Variations: To add another level of warmth to the flavor, cook the sauce with a 2- inch length of cinnamon stick or add 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon to the onion along with the cumin. Add half a head of roasted garlic to the sauce. Roast the garlic and peel when cool; chop or puree with a little of the tomato, then add to the sauce along with the tomatoes.
