Note
Ingredients for about 2 cups or 8 fourth-cup servings:
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp wheat flour
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 3/4 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/3 cup tomato sauce
- 1.75 cup low sodium chicken broth
- Seasonings:
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tbsp cumin
- 1/2 tbsp Mexican oregano
- sea salt & pepper to taste
Steps
Step 1
Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat.
Step 2
When the skillet is hot, add olive oil and wheat flour. Cook for about 3 minutes until the wheat flour turns dark brown and remember to stir frequently with a wooden spoon or spatula.
Step 3
Toss in garlic and allow it to cook for about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add 1 cup of chicken broth, tomato sauce and chopped tomatoes. Stir and allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes. As you stir, mash the chopped tomatoes in order to thicken the sauce.
Step 5
Add in the seasonings and stir thoroughly. Add the remaining 3/4 cup chicken broth. Stir, remove from the heat and allow the sauce to cool and thicken. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add tablespoons of chicken broth until you reach your desired consistency. Season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
Step 6
Store in an airtight container/jar in the refrigerator.
