Orange Sauce

If you’ve been to the Bay Area you probably know about La Vic’s orange sauce. I LOVE this sauce but at $15/bottle I just can’t justify buying it anymore. So if you, like me, also like your orange sauce with a side of Mexican food, give this homemade version a try!

Servings: 24 oz.

Ingredients:

• 2 roma tomatoes, roughly chopped

  1 onion, roughly chopped

  35 dried red chilies

  4 dried guajillo chilies

  1 tbsp minced garlic

  1½ tsp salt

  1 tsp chili powder

  ⅓ cup apple cider vinegar

  1 cup + 2 tbsp neutral oil

  1 ½ cup water

Directions:

1. Heat a pan on medium heat and add oil

2. Add tomatoes, onion and garlic and cook down for 5-6 minutes

3. Add dried chilies, salt, chili powder, apple cider vinegar and oil and let cook for another 2-3 minutes

4. Ensure chilies puff up from the oil but make sure they don’t burn

5. Add water and mix together

6. Transfer everything to a blender and blend until sauce is smooth

7. Let cool and pour into a container or squeeze bottle

8. Enjoy!
