Ingredients
- 10 medium (about 2 lbs) Roma tomatoes
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 medium Jalapeño peppers
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Distilled white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.25 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the vegetables. Core and roughly chop the Roma tomatoes. Peel and dice the yellow onion. Remove the stems from the jalapeño peppers, and if you desire a milder sauce, remove the seeds. Mince the garlic cloves.
Step 2
Add the chopped tomatoes, diced onion, jalapeños, and minced garlic to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
Step 3
Transfer the blended vegetable mixture to a large saucepan. Stir in the chopped cilantro, white vinegar, sugar, salt, ground cumin, and water.
Step 4
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or sugar to balance the flavor.
Step 6
Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove it from the heat and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Step 7
Store the sauce in airtight containers or glass jars. It can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen for longer storage.
Step 8
Serve the Perfect Pace Picante Sauce with tortilla chips, spread it on tacos, or use it as a topping for burritos and nachos. Enjoy!
