How to cook Light Mexican Tomato Sauce: Caldillo De Jitomate
Ingredients for Light tomato sauce recipe
• 2 roma tomatoes
• 1 slice onion, a 1 1/2 inch piece is good
• 1-2 dried arbol chile (or 1 fresh serrano, 1/2 fresh jalapeno, or
1 dried guajillo)
• salt, to taste
1. Place the tomatoes, onion and chiles in a small sauce pan with
enough.water to almost cover the tomatoes. Cook until the tomatoes
are soft. Then puree them in a blender with salt to taste and some
of the cooking liquid, adjusting the amount to achieve the texture
that you like.
2. Some people add a little powdered chicken stock (Knorr Suiza).
You can add a bit of garlic too. If you are pouring this over fried
eggs you can either pour it over them in the same pan where they cooked
and let the sauce simmer a little or you can just pour it over the
eggs right in the serving plate (I prefer this method-less fat!).
You can also use this sauce for chilaquiles, but in this can be fried
in a little oil or added to the fried tortillas in the pan where they
were fried. I like my chilaquiles crunchy so I fry the sauce separately
in about a tsp of oil.
3. This sauce is so basic that herbs such as oregano or cilantro can
be added and the flavor can be changed completely.
