How to Make Homemade Ranchero Sauce
First, heat a large pan to medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Cook the onions and peppers down about 5 minutes to soften.
Add the garlic and cook another minute, stirring a bit.
Add the tomato, cilantro and chicken broth. Stir.
Stir in the seasonings.
Bring to a quick boil then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes to let the flavors develop. The sauce will thicken up for you.
Transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor (or use an immersion blender) and pour in the lime juice. I used my stick blender.
Process until nice and smooth.
Use immediately or store in the refrigerator in a covered glass container.
You can squeeze a bit of lime juice if youd like at this point for a nice, fresh citrus pop, though it isnt necessary. Its wonderful on its own, but I love a good lime squeeze.
