BIG-BATCH RANCHERO SAUCE



Big-Batch Ranchero Sauce image

There is no other aroma coming from the kitchen - not truffle, not freshly peeled orange, not a chocolate cake baking - that will stop you in your tracks and make you inhale as deeply as this ranchero sauce simmering away. Here's a large batch to use in many ways: Poach eggs in it for brunch, simmer shrimp in it for taco filling, or spoon it over shredded chicken with avocado slices inside a flour tortilla for lunch for the kiddos. Put it in tightly sealed Mason jars and bring it to friends as a host gift.

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 quarts (a ton; that's the point)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 1/2 pounds/about 100 ounces canned whole, peeled plum tomatoes and their juices (or one restaurant-style No. 10 can)
1 bunch cilantro, leaves and stems washed and roughly chopped
1 cup peeled garlic cloves
4 serrano chiles, stems and seeds removed then roughly chopped
2 guajillo chiles, stems detached
1 tablespoon achiote paste
Kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine everything in a large pot or rondeau, and simmer over gentle heat for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent any scorching on the bottom. Add a little water if it becomes any thicker than ketchup. Allow to cool before puréeing.
  • Working in a blender in batches, purée until smooth. Check the salt seasoning. Let cool.
  • Transfer to quart or pint containers, and stock your freezer, or put the sauce in something more attractive - rubber-sealed jars with hinged lids? - to make gifts of the stuff. Ranchero sauce keeps well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 1 year. (It may separate a little, in which case you can simply reheat and give a new buzz in a blender to reunify.)

RANCHERO SAUCE



Ranchero Sauce image

I love making my ranchero sauce. It stores well and goes so well with so many different south-west and Mexican foods. I prefer to make my ranchero sauce with heirloom or Mexican Organic tomatoes. I am a huge advocate of not using those genetically modified freaks people call tomatoes traditionally. They are orange, watery with...

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 medium heirloom tomatoes, chopped
1 small yellow tomato, chopped
2 c red onion, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced, seeded and ribs removed.
2 c fresh cilantro, chopped
4-5 clove garlic, minced
1/2 c veggie or chicken broth
1 1/2 Tbsp salt
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
4 tsp ground cumin
1 medium jalapeno pepper, diced, seeded and ribs removed
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp lime juice
1 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
salt, pepper and cayenne pepper to taste!

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium sauce pan over medium heat, add oil and smoke.
  • 2. Sweat garlic and onion in oil until tender.
  • 3. Add jalapeno and cook for 10 minutes covered.
  • 4. Add tomatoes with salt. (salt will draw the liquid from tomatoes.) Cook covered for 30 minutes on medium low heat.
  • 5. Drain excess tomato liquid from pan.
  • 6. Add cilantro and broth to pan. Simmer for 5 minutes covered. (Adjust the thickness of the sauce with broth. Be sure to drain all the excess liquid you can, the tomato liquid is super watery, but the 1/2 cup of broth will add the extra flavor you are looking for. You might need more than 1/2 cup or a little less depending on how much liquid your tomatoes give up while cooking.)
  • 7. Add paprika, salt, pepper, cayenne, chilli, lime juice and cumin.
  • 8. Blend mixture with immersion blender, or transfer to a standard blender until smooth. (If you like chunky sauce don't blend it, tastes the same whether smooth or not.)
  • 9. Simmer the sauce for about 15 minutes before serving. A little tip: if you find the sauce too watery after you add your stock, no big deal, simmer it uncovered, it'll thicken itself up in no time.
  • 10. In this entry I served ranchero sauce over my black bean quesadilla.
