How to Make Senor Pico's Picante Sauce
- Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add chopped onion, minced garlic, and minced peppers. Sauté until the onion is translucent but not browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Stir in tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Add crushed tomatoes, broth, sugar, salt, and vinegar. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Carefully transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.)
- Return the pureed sauce to the saucepan. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and cold water until smooth.
- Gradually whisk the flour mixture into the sauce, stirring constantly. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve generously over chile rellenos, tacos, burritos, or your favorite dish!
