VERACRUZ SAUCE
The port of Veracruz, on the Gulf of Mexico, was one of the first places where the Spanish initially settled, which explains the strong Mediterranean elements in this very Mexican sauce. One of the area´s iconic dishes is Huachinango a la Veracruzana, Red Snapper Veracruz Style, which consists of a whole fish cooked with these same flavors. The sauce is just as delicious, however, with much more simply-prepared proteins such as grilled chicken or fillets of white fish.

Steps:
- Warm the oil in a medium saucepan. Saute the garlic briefly to release its flavor. Add the tomatoes and onions and cook over low heat until the tomatoes soften, about 20 minutes.
- Add the jalapeño pepper, olives, oregano, capers, water, and salt to taste. Simmer for an additional 20 minutes.
- Serve your delicious Veracruz Sauce over grilled or pan fried white fish or chicken breast. Accompany this with white rice, if you like.
