Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 cups Basic Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
1 cup ketchup
2 to 3 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 (12-ounce) bottle dark ale
1 tablespoon hot sauce, about 8 dashes
2 pounds chicken pieces, bone-in and skin-on
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
5 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for garnish
12 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
6 (28-ounce) cans chopped tomatoes
2 1/2 teaspoons sugar
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • In a large heavy bottomed saucepot over medium-high heat, combine the Basic Tomato Sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire, sugar, ale, and hot sauce and bring to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by half and thickened, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper. Heat a large oven proof skillet over high heat and add the vegetable oil. Sear the chicken pieces on all sides until well-browned, about 3 minutes per side.

  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, bring to a simmer, and cook until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in sugar, and season with salt, to taste.
  • Let extra sauce cool completely and then seal in airtight containers. Refrigerate for up 1 week and freeze for up to 1 month.

SLOW-SIMMERED CHICKEN VINDALOO



Slow-Simmered Chicken Vindaloo image

This is my take on chicken vindaloo, a traditional Indian curry dish. I've tried a number of other vindaloo recipes, but they're never spicy or soupy enough for my liking. I chose chicken, but you could easily substitute pork, beef, or various root vegetables. Many vindaloo recipes will add chunks of potatoes in addition to the meat. Serve with a long-grain white rice and naan (an Indian flat bread).

Provided by James Wilson

Time 2h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 20

¼ cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
2 teaspoons garam masala
2 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 ½ medium red onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
¼ cup butter
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut in bite-sized pieces
3 medium tomatoes, chopped
5 fresh bird's eye chiles, minced
½ cup tomato sauce
1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ cup chicken broth, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Mix vinegar, ginger, garam masala, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, turmeric, coriander, sugar, and cinnamon together until a paste forms. Set aside.
  • Process red onions and garlic in a food processor until minced.
  • Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion-garlic mixture and saute until translucent, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly so the garlic doesn't burn. Add chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, chile peppers, and tomato sauce. Stir in the reserved spice paste and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, adding pepper flakes, salt, and pepper while cooking. Stir in chicken broth as needed if vindaloo gets too dry.
  • Let cool a bit before serving.

NEW MEXICO RED CHILE SAUCE



New Mexico Red Chile Sauce image

Red chile is a staple of the New Mexican and West Texan diet, and this recipe is my grandmother's recipe. When I make it, it reminds me of the smells of her cooking in her kitchen, fresh corn tortillas, beans, and red chile peppers. You can kick up the spiciness by adding more arbol chile pods.

Provided by Cookincwgrl

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Sauce Recipes

Time 43m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons canola oil
20 New Mexico dried red chile pods, stemmed and seeded
10 dried chile de arbol peppers, stemmed and seeded
1 large yellow onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 quart chicken stock, or more if needed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon honey

Steps:

  • Coat the bottom of a heavy saucepan with oil; add chile pods. Toast over medium heat until aromatic, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add enough chicken stock to allow pods to float; simmer until they develop the texture of wet leather, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Fill blender halfway with chile-stock mixture. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour into a bowl; repeat with remaining mixture. Strain sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a saucepan over medium heat. Discard solids.
  • Stir cumin, coriander, and oregano into the saucepan; add honey. Cook until sauce is thick and evenly coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
