Red Chile Sauce

 

Recipe By :Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, Deborah Madison, pg 70

Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Sauces & Condiments

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoons finely diced onion

1 large clove garlic -- finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano -- (optional)

2 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin -- (optional)

1/2 cup ground red chile

2 1/2 cups warm water

salt

 

Heat the oil with the onion, garlic, and oregano in a heavy saucepan. Cook

over medium heat until the onion begins to color a little, about 6 minutes. Add

the flour and cumin and cook for at least 2 minutes, stirring constantly. The

flour will brown slightly. Mix the chile and 2 1/2 cups warm water and pour it

all at once into the roux, whisking as you do so. Keep stirring until the sauce

thickens, then lower the heat and cook, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.

Season with salt to taste. If it tastes a little harsh, just a few drops of

vinegar will soften it.
