Chile-Tomato Not Too Hot Sauce image

Not too hot is the point of this sauce. When a recipe tester suggested an optional serrano chile if cooks yearned for more spice, Mark Bittman said nope.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     condiments, sauces and gravies

Time 1h

Yield About 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 guajillo or ancho chiles
1/4 cup neutral oil
2 large onions, chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 cups canned tomatoes
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and ground black pepper
1/4 cup distilled white or apple cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Boil 3 cups of water. Put chiles in a large skillet over medium heat and toast, turning once, until fragrant, 2 or 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chiles to a bowl, pour boiling water over them and soak until soft and pliable, 15 to 30 minutes. Remove stems and as many seeds as you like (the fewer you remove, the hotter the sauce will be). Roughly chop them, and reserve soaking liquid.
  • Put oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add chiles, onions and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions soften, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, honey, salt and pepper.
  • Adjust heat so the mixture bubbles gently. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is very thick, 10 to 20 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a blender with the vinegar. Purée until completely smooth, adding more vinegar or a splash of water if you want it thinner. Pour into a glass bottle or jar, cool completely and refrigerate up to a week.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will make a big difference in the final flavor of your sauce. Choose tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
  • Roast your tomatoes before making the sauce: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them sweeter. To roast tomatoes, simply place them on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly browned.
  • Add a little bit of heat: A little bit of heat can help to balance out the sweetness of the tomatoes. You can add heat to your sauce by using chili peppers, red pepper flakes, or cayenne pepper.
  • Simmer your sauce for at least 30 minutes: Simmering your sauce will help to develop its flavor and thicken it. The longer you simmer your sauce, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Season your sauce to taste: Once your sauce is finished simmering, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other herbs or spices that you like.

Conclusion:

With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious, flavorful hot tomato sauce that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are using it to top pasta, pizza, or chicken, this sauce is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, give this hot tomato sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
