Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 tablespoons cooking fat (you can use olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil or whatever you have on hand)
  • 4 cups onion about 4 small onions or 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary dried
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup water (or more if you want a thinner sauce)
  • 1 ounce can tomato paste
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (more if you want it spicier or less if you don't want it too spicy)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cooking fat and the onions and saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onions become translucent.

  3. Add the caramelized onions to a blender along with water, tomato paste, vinegar, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, ground ginger and ground cinnamon.
  4. Blend until completely smooth.
