Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. By nature, this is a thin sauce, but if you want it a bit thicker, add the optional arrowroot or cornstarch with the other dry ingredients, and add when directed by the recipe. I would with just 1 tablespoon, and add the other, if needed.
- 3. If you like Worcestershire, but do like the fact that it has anchovies in it, then check out my anchovy-free version: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/sauce-spread/other-sauce-spread/diy-essentials-homemade-worcestershire-sauce.html?r=1
- 4. You will be using 6 ounces of tomato sauce, and the smallest can of tomato sauce is 8 ounces. I you do not have an immediate use for it, do not forget that you can freeze it. I use an old plastic ice tray, freeze the sauce in one or two-ounce portions, then put the cubes in a Ziploc freezer bag. It will last five-to-seven days in the fridge, and three-to-months, if frozen. Easy/Peasy.
- 5. Use restraint with the liquid smoke (if using). One, maybe two drops is all you are going to need. I would add it in at the end, while it is simmering... one drop then taste.
- 6. Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- 7. Grind up the dehydrated onions.
- 8. Add the ground onions and other spices to a bowl and mix to combine.
- 9. If you are using the arrowroot or cornstarch, add it now, with the other dry spices.
- 10. Add the wet ingredients to a saucepan, over medium heat.
- 11. Bring up to a slow simmer.
- 12. Add the dry ingredients and whisk to combine.
- 13. Simmer for 10 - 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.
- 14. While it is simmering, taste for "proper" seasoning.
- 15. When cool, store in the refrigerator in a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.
- 16. It will last about 4 - 6 weeks.
- 17. PLATE/PRESENT
- 18. Use as you would any other yummy taco sauce. Enjoy.
- 19. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
