Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup Yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 teaspoons Hot paprika
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Sugar (optional, to taste)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the hot paprika, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper, stirring constantly for 30 seconds to toast the spices.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, red wine vinegar, and gluten-free chicken or vegetable stock. Stir to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Allow the sauce to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens and reduces slightly.
Taste and add sugar if the sauce needs a slight sweetness balance.
Once cooked, remove the sauce from heat and let it cool slightly.
For a smoother texture, blend the sauce using an immersion blender or transfer it to a countertop blender and puree until smooth.
Transfer the salsa brava to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
This salsa is perfect to serve over roasted potatoes or alongside grilled meats and vegetables. Enjoy!
