Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix to combine the spices.
- Add oil to a medium pot and place over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the flour and whisk in then add the spices and continue whisking for 1 minute.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and whisk to combine. (The mixture will be very thick at this point.) Then, slowly pour in the stock while whisking; continue whisking until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat and stir in the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Notes
- Make sure to cook the roux for a full minute to remove the raw flour taste. This also gives time for the spices to toast and infuse the oil, making the finished sauce more flavorful.
- Whisk constantly while you add the stock. If you pour it all in quickly and at once, the roux can clump up and turn the sauce lumpy.
- The nutritional information for this recipe is for the full yield–3 cups of sauce.
