T.L.T Sauce

First off sorry for the lack of posts lately...Between life being crazy and both of us racing this coming weekend at REV3 PDX, not s excuse but sometimes life leaves little time and certain things need to get cut to keep one sane. Funny thing but people generally don't do that, thus causes chaos in ones life.

This is a simple and killer recipe.


Tomato-Lime-Tequila Sauce

Serves 2-4

1 -14.5oz can of (Muir glen we use) fire roasted diced tomatoes (we puree, but dont if you prefer it chunky)
2 T of tequila of choice- cheap will taste stronger
1 shallot-diced
1 clove, garlic minced
1.5 tsp cumin
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp oregano
1/8 cup water
Salt and pepper
Juice of one lime

Optional:
1 Chipotle pepper, puree it, add on step 2
 Spinach- add 1 minute before serving to wilt


Instructions:

-over medium heat, saute shallot and garlic for 1-2 mins, or until shallots are slightly translucent
-add all other ingredients, and simmer for 20 minutes

You can serve over rice, pasta, quinoa and goes great with this chicken:
