RANCHERO SAUCE
I love making my ranchero sauce. It stores well and goes so well with so many different south-west and Mexican foods. I prefer to make my ranchero sauce with heirloom or Mexican Organic tomatoes.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, add oil and smoke.
- 2. Sweat garlic and onion in oil until tender.
- 3. Add jalapeno and cook for 10 minutes covered.
- 4. Add tomatoes with salt. (salt will draw the liquid from tomatoes.) Cook covered for 30 minutes on medium low heat.
- 5. Drain excess tomato liquid from pan.
- 6. Add cilantro and broth to pan. Simmer for 5 minutes covered. (Adjust the thickness of the sauce with broth. Be sure to drain all the excess liquid you can, the tomato liquid is super watery, but the 1/2 cup of broth will add the extra flavor you are looking for. You might need more than 1/2 cup or a little less depending on how much liquid your tomatoes give up while cooking.)
- 7. Add paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, chilli, lime juice and cumin.
- 8. Blend mixture with immersion blender, or transfer to a standard blender until smooth. (If you like chunky sauce don't blend it, tastes the same whether smooth or not.)
- 9. Simmer the sauce for about 15 minutes before serving. A little tip: if you find the sauce too watery after you add your stock, no big deal, simmer it uncovered, it'll thicken itself up in no time.
- 10. In this entry I served ranchero sauce over my black bean quesadilla.
