AWESOME ENCHILADA SAUCE

KICKING HOT SAUCE

This is one hell of a insane hot lip smacking hot hot hot enchilada sauce.  Sometimes I can't actually face this sauce, in fact I am sure this sauce should come with a side of pepto bismol !  So what I do is add  several desert spoons of this kicking sauce to a batch of mild tomato sauce to va va voom it up and that is still a little over my comfort zone!

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE HOT KICKING ENCHILADA SAUCE

1 tbsp oil

1 tbsp flour

3 tbsp hot chilli powder

(on reflection maybe mild!)

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp oregano or thyme

1/2 tsp salt

400ml chicken stock

Heat the oil and add the flour and gently cook out for a few minutes, add all the dry ingredients mix well and then add the chicken stock, using a whisk to ensure no lumps, bring to a simmer and cook for around 15 minutes on a gently simmer. 

This sauce base is a fabulous punch of heat and flavour for lots of dishes, I will admit to finding it too hot on  it's own for my burritos, but used as a accompaniment it has a wonderful variation of uses, a hint there and a dollop in mayo there will give you a great use for this sauce.

FOR THE MILD TOMATO ENCHILADA SAUCE

 1 can of chopped tomatoes

1 onion finely diced

dash of ooil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

pinch of salt and white pepper

dollop of concentrated chicken stock (knorr)

4-6 tbsp of the kicking hot enchilada sauce

(or as much as you like)

Place the ooil in a pan and gently soften the onions, add the garlic powder, tomatoes, salt and pepper and simmer for 5 minutes, using a potato masher crush the tomatoes and onion in the pan to a smooth pulp, add the chicken stock and hot kicking enchilada sauce, taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
