All The Rave Enchilada Sauce

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour or sprouted flour
  • 3 tbsp butter, coconut oil, or tallow (or use half butter and half olive oil)
  • 2 cups bone broth (chicken or beef is best, but pork works too)
  • 1 tbsp chili powder (use less or more, depending on how hot you like it)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sea salt*
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp Sucanat or another dry sweetener

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter or oil in a medium saucepan over low heat. When hot, slowly whisk in the flour, stirring constantly. You want the flour to cook a little to increase the flavor. Add the chili powder and whisk well.
  • Add the broth a little at a time, whisking well after each addition. As it starts to thin out, allow it to cook a minute or two before adding more. I’ve found that slowly adding the full two cups results in a richer sauce.
  • Once all the broth is added, add the remaining ingredients. Increase the heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
  • Allow to boil for 3 to 5 minutes. The sauce will begin to thicken during this time.
  • Remove from heat. Use immediately or refrigerate for later use. When allowed to set, a skin forms on top of the sauce. You can stir this in or peel it off and throw away.
  • Use this sauce in any recipe that calls for enchilada sauce.

Notes

*I use homemade, unsalted broth. If you use a broth with salt added, use less salt. I’d recommend starting with none and tasting as the sauce cooks.
