Ingredients
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium Spanish onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons ancho chile powder
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 28-ounce can whole plum tomatoes, pureed with their juices
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon honey
Directions
- Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds. Stir in the chile powder and cumin and cook 30 more seconds.
- Add the tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until reduced to a sauce-like consistency, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a food processor and puree (add water if necessary). Add the honey and more salt and pepper, if needed.
