Instructions

  1. Roughly pulse blend the tomatoes and set aside.
  2. Using the oil, gently sauté the onion and garlic for a few minutes until soft.
  3. Add the cumin and stir for a minute
  4. Add the tomato and stir well, season generously with salt and pepper and then simmer gently for about 10 minutes until the sauce has thickened.
  5. Leave to cool completely and then serve or refrigerate or freeze until you need.

Notes

  • I like to use my hogao as a condiment at room temperature. The flavour is better than straight out the fridge. Leave it for 30-40 minutes before using.
  • Hogao is great with grilled meats, chicken, fish and vegetables. I also like to stir through scrambled eggs.
  • Hogao makes for a great base to other dishes. If I have some that's been in the fridge for a while, I'll use it to jump-start a soup, stew or curry. It'll save you time sauteeing onions - just add meat, poultry and whatever other ingredients you like and you'll save yourself a tonne of effort!
