Description

I am calling my enchilada sauce a gravy because it would be good on ANYTHING (what’s not better with gravy?). This recipe makes about 8 cups, so you have plenty to store and freeze for later! I cannot wait to try it as a salsa, on eggs, over pancakes (just kidding– or AM I?).

Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • 1 whole Large White Onion, Chopped
  • 4 cloves Garlic, Pressed And Coarsely Chopped
  • 1 whole Poblano Pepper, Seeded And Chopped
  • 2 whole Jalapeno Peppers (seeded And Chopped)
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth (low Sodium Preferred)
  • 1-½ pound Tomatillos, Husked And Quartered
  • ½ cups Fresh Cilantro Leaves
  • 14 ounces, weight Canned Diced Tomatoes, Drained Of Juice
  • 4 ounces, weight Canned Diced Green Chiles
  • 2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
  • 3 Tablespoons Honey

Preparation

In a large stockpot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and saute until the start to become fragrant. Add poblano and jalapeno pepper pieces and saute for 2-3 mintues. Add all of the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Use a slotted spoon to remove ingredients from broth mixture and place them into a large food processor (I only have a small food processor so I did this in three batches, adding each processed batch back to the pot, before removing more of the large ingredients). Puree until the consistency is thin. Return to pot and continue to heat the pureed mixture over medium heat for 20 more minutes, until sauce has thickened.

Store in a container in the refrigerator for 1 week, or in the freezer for 6 months.

I made this today (along with the creamy chicken enchiladas) for a potluck dinner. I will never buy enchilada sauce again! Easy to make and absolutely delicious….I plan to keep LOTS in the freezer. I can see mixing it into guacamole, using it just as salsa, adding to tacos, and on and on…….
