Sauce ole'
2 Cups
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| ¾ | cup | Canned crushed tomatoes |
| ½ | cup | Water |
| 2 | Small Tomatoes | |
| ½ | Medium red onion, chopped | |
| 3 | tablespoons | Lime juice |
| 2 | tablespoons | Chopped fresh Cilantro |
| 1 | tablespoon | Olive oil |
| ½ | teaspoon | Dried Cumin |
| ½ | teaspoon | Salt |
| ½ | cup | Chopped roasted green chiles |
Directions
Combine the ingredients (starting with just 2 tablespoons of lime juice) in a saucepan and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, enough to slightly thicken the sauce. The vegetables should soften a little yet still stay crisp-tender. Taste and add the additional lime juice if desired. Refrigerate the sauce for at least 1 hour to allow the flavor to develop. Serve the sauce chilled. It keeps, refrigerated, for several days.
* Variations: For a green sauce, substitute an equal amount of pureed fresh or canned tomatillos for the canned crushed tomatoes and reduce the amount of lime juice to ½ to 1 tablespoon.
