Mmmm Good Ranchero Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• 1. In a saucepan over medium heat, stir together all ingredients. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and allow to cool slightly before brushing on your favorite meat.
• 2. Tastes great on chicken. If interested in just one cup of sauce, see below for the reduced amounts for ingredients.
• 3. 1/2 cup ketchup 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1 dash hot pepper sauce 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon chopped dried onions 1/4 teaspoon mustard powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke

Steps:

• On a gas range or under a broiler, roast the green, red and poblano peppers until well charred. Let cool. Stem and seed the charred peppers. Coarsely chop and set aside.
• In a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle, finely grind the whole guajillo and pasilla chiles and set aside.
• In a large saucepan, warm the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, covered, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the guajillo and pasilla chiles, cumin, chili powder, oregano, thyme, black pepper, salt and garlic. Stir and cook until the spices become fragrant and are fully coated in oil, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes, green chiles and sugar. Stir and continue to cook until the sauce starts to simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to cook until the vegetables soften and the flavors come together, 30 to 40 minutes. Taste and add additional salt and pepper as needed.

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Cook and stir onion in the bacon grease until onion is transparent, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove bacon from skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate; crumble.
• Stir chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, cilantro, jalapeno pepper, salt, pepper, and crumbled bacon into onion; bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, about 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Blacken the peppers under the broiler or top of a gas stove.
• Place in a plastic baggie.
• Toast the cumin in a saucepan until it begins to smoke.
• Add the oil, onions and garlic.
• Sauté for 2 minutes.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, except for the peppers, and simmer over a low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Remove the skins from the peppers, seed, and coarsely chop them.
• Add them to the saucepan.
• Cook another 5 minutes or so until the sauce thickens slightly.
• Pulse in a blender to desired consistency. Refrigerate for up to a month.
• Serve hot or room temperature.

Steps:

• Saute onions and jalapenos over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Add garlic. Saute another 30 seconds. In a medium size sauce pan, smoke the oregano, cumin, and chile powder over a medium high heat until fragrant. Quickly add chicken stock, then all the rest of the ingredients. Bring to a boil, turn heat to low. Reduce sauce by at least one half. Will freeze.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
• Add the onion, celery, bell pepper, and garlic and cook, covered, until vegetables are lightly browned, about 10 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes with their juices, green chiles, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, paprika, oregano, and pepper and bring to a simmer.
• Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until slightly thickened and the tomato juices are almost evaporated, about 30 minutes Stir in the hot sauce.
• Serve the sauce hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Prepare the sauce ahead of time by placing the ingredients in Vita-Mix along with 1 cup of water; quickly increase speed to high; allow to run for 4 to 5 minutes or until steam escapes from opening; adjust with salt and pepper to taste.
• If you do not have a Vita-Mix and are using a standard blender, place the tomatillos, garlic and onion in medium skillet along with enough oil to coat the bottom; sauté until onion and garlic are soft; approximately 5 minutes.
• Add the hot water and additional spices, simmer for 20 to 30 minutes; pour cooked ingredients into blender container and process until smooth; adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Pour the sauce into a quart jar and refrigerate until ready to use.
• For the huevos rancheros, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Lightly spray individual ramekins with non-stick cooking spray and place on a cookie sheet. The ramekins I used measured 5 inches across and 1 inch deep.
• Place a cut tortilla in the bottom of each dish, top with egg in center.
• Sprinkle 1/4 of the canned beans around each casserole leaving the yolk exposed.
• Pour the 1 - 1 1/2 cups tomatillo sauce over the beans, again leaving yolk exposed; top with grated cheese.
• Place in pre-heated oven and bake for 15 minutes; lightly cover each with foil and bake an additional 5 minutes or until yolk is slightly runny and white is set.
• Top with additional grated cheese if desired.
• Enjoy!
