Time 12m

Yield 1 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small onion, chopped
2 scallions, chopped
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 cup fresh cilantro, tops with tender stems only coarsely chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 1/4 cup of cold water
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • In a small skillet over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the onion, scallions, garlic, oregano, and cumin. Sauté the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Place the onion mixture in a blender or food processor with the cilantro and chicken broth and process until pureed.
  • Return the puree to the skillet, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until it comes to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cornstarch mixture. Continue to cook, stirring until the liquid returns to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes until the sauce thickens. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
