Ranchero Sauce

February 6, 2024

Ranchero Sauce

There are many versions of this sauce, some more time consuming than others. I prefer simpler recipes that come together easily without sacrificing flavor. This is one of those recipes. It has a long list of ingredients but doesn’t take all day to cook.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium white or yellow onion diced
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 pound plum tomatoes chopped
  • 1 jalapeno seeded and diced
  • 1 tbsp ancho chile powder
  • 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • ½ tsp dried Mexican oregano
  • ½ cup low sodium vegetable broth or water
  • ½ bunch chopped cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime

Instructions
 

  • Heat a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add water 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed, to keep them from sticking to the pan.
  • Add the garlic, jalapeno pepper, Ancho chile powder, chipotle chile powder, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 2 minutes to toast the spices.
  • Add the tomatoes and vegetable broth, and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in cilantro and lime juice.
  • Using an immersion blender or regular stand blender, carefully blend the mixture until it reaches the consistency you want. A few pulses for a slightly chunky sauce, or you can puree it until it’s completely smooth.

Scrambled Cauliflower Rancheros

Scrambled Cauliflower Rancheros

I make this scramble with tofu, cauliflower or jackfruit depending on my mood or what is on hand. They all work well in this dish. The cauliflower and the tofu have more of an eggy texture that some people like. I like them all.

Cauliflower Sour “Cream”

April 1, 2023

 

Cauliflower Sour “Cream”

From an upcoming cookbook by Del Sroufe I usually make sour  “cream” with silken tofu. It is quick, easy and delicious. I have a few friends who can not eat tofu, and when they come over for dinner I make this recipe instead of the one made with tofu. It is equally delicious and almost as easy.
