Sauce Espagnole - Spanish Sauce image

Wonderful, flavorful sauce that is great over any kind of enchiladas, or even a plain chicken breast. So much flavor in such a simple quick recipe! *Note:* Stock is important and should be used rather than broth. If broth is used you will have a less flavorful, less full bodied sauce. There are many great recipes here on Zaar for stock and you can even find stock at your grocery now too! Any type will do, beef, chicken, even make it vegetarian! Hope you enjoy!

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I can't eat this sauce. :(

This sauce is way too expensive to make. I can buy a jar of sauce for a fraction of the cost.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out lumpy. Not sure what went wrong.

This sauce is a bit too bland for my taste. I had to add some extra seasoning.

I'm not a huge fan of Spanish food, but this sauce is really good. It's not too heavy or spicy.
