Ranchero Sauce

My father in law always talks about how ranchero sauce is hard to find in restaurants and I was watching Trisha year wood and she made a "ranchero salsa". It made me wonder when I saw how easy it was to make. Here is a recipe from about.com

Prep Time:15 minutes

Cook Time:15 minutes

Total Time:30 minutes

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1/4 cup of chopped onion
• 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
• 1 serrano or jalapeno chile, seeded and diced
• 3 cups diced tomatoes.
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon ground chile
• Salt to taste

Preparation:

Start by heating the oil, and saute the garlic, serrano and onions for 2-3 minutes. Reduce the heat and add in the tomatoes. Cook the tomatoes for about 5 or 6 minutes until they become wilted. Roma's may need more cooking time as they are not as juicy. Add in the seasonings and simmer for about 5 more minutes. You can serve the sauce as is, or you can let the sauce cool and blend it.
