Tomato Jalapeno Sauce
0
This tomato jalapeno sauce is used to top the jalapeno pepper rellenos from the last post. This and a bit of shredded cheese will make it look and taste as delicious as the picture looks.
Stuff You’ll Need
You will need 4 tomatoes, 1/4 of an onion, 1 garlic clove, 2 jalapenos, the seeds and veins from the jalapeno rellenos(the ones I said not to throw away), some olive oil and one 8oz. can of tomato sauce.
Step One
Cut the tomatoes, onion and jalapenos into small chunks. You don’t have to chop them finely since you will be blending everything in the end. Everything just needs to fit nicely in the pan.
Step Two
In a pan, drizzle a bit of olive oil thinly coating the bottom of the pan and start heating on medium. Add the tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, garlic clove and seeds/veins from the jalapeno pepper rellenos. Let everything heat and when the onion is caramelized and the tomatoes and jalapenos are soft, add the tomato sauce. The whole can. Continue heating until it comes to a boil and all the vegetables are soft. Reduce heat and add salt to taste.
Step Three
Pour everything in a blender and blend. The tomato jalapeno sauce is done.
Step Four
If you’ve cooked the rellenos. Just spoon a bit of the tomato jalapeno sauce over the rellenos, add a bit of shredded cheese on top and enjoy. Don’t forget to remove the toothpicks!
Jalapeno Sauce In Action
If you have not made the jalepeno pepper rellenos, then you can read how to make them here. You can also use the tomato jalapeno sauce on top of scrambled eggs or huevos rancheros. In my opinion it tastes better warm, but you decide.
