Ingredients

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil 1 cup chopped onion

1/2 tsp. Cumin Seeds

1/4 tsp. Roasted Granulated Garlic

1 tsp. cornstarch

2 Tbsp. Hatch Green Chile Powder

1 tsp. white wine vinegar 2 cups chicken broth

1/2 tsp. Mexican Oregano

1/4 tsp. Mayan Sea Salt

1 tsp. honey

Directions

Step 1 In a skillet over medium heat, saute onions in oil until translucent, 5 to 7 min., stirring occasionally.

Step 2 Meanwhile, in a small skillet over medium heat, toast Cumin Seeds until aromatic, around 2 to 3 min., stirring often. Immediately transfer the toasted seeds into a mortar and pestle and grind into a powder.

Step 3 In a small bowl, mix together the toasted Cumin Seeds, Roasted Granulated Garlic, cornstarch, Hatch Green Chile Powder, white wine vinegar, and 1/4 cup chicken broth to form a smooth paste.

Step 4 Coat sauteed onions with spice paste and then slowly stir in remaining broth to form a sauce. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Stir in Mexican Oregano and Mayan Sea Salt and simmer for 15 to 20 min. to thicken, stirring often.

Step 5 Remove from heat and add honey and serve hot. Store in a refrigerated airtight container for up to one week. Freeze otherwise.
