Инструкции
- Get a medium-sized nonstick saucepan very warm over high heat. Add in the onions and cook without stirring for 30 seconds. Reduce heat to medium and add in the cumin, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 c. water and mix well. Continue to saute/fry over medium heat till the onion begins to release its juices, about 4 min; add in the garlic and saute/fry till the onion is soft, about 5 more min.
- Add in the tomatoes (including reserved liquid if using canned), the Ancho Chile Puree, 1/2 tsp. Chipotle Puree, and simmer over medium- low heat for 30 min. Add in salt and Chipotle Puree to taste.
- MAKES ABOUT 2 C..
- Tip: If the sauce is acidic, add in a little sugar to balance the flavors.
- Variations:1. To add in another level of warmth to the flavor, cook the sauce with a 2- inch length of cinnamon stick or possibly add in 1/4 tsp. freshly grnd cinnamon to the onion along with the cumin.
- Add in half a head of roasted garlic to the sauce. Roast the garlic and peel when cold; chop or possibly puree with a little of the tomato, then add in to the sauce along with the tomatoes.
- Annie Somerville sez: "We serve this spicy, satisfying sauce throughout the year. In summer fresh sweet tomatoes make up its base and require minimal seasoning. In the winter months even the best of canned tomatoes tend to be acidic. Here they're balanced with the earthy flavor of toasted cumin and the smoky heat of pureed chipotle and ancho chiles. The sauce is delicious baked with polenta and summer vegetables for a southwestern gratin, with enchiladas, or possibly spread over a pizza. Make it ahead of time and store in the freezer."
- Curtis sez: "With a total of 1 heaping tsp. of Chipotle Puree, this makes a pizza sauce which is so wonderful (if used sparingly) it is worth the effort!"
