Tips

  • For extra heat, add cayenne pepper, chilies, or drops of Tabasco.
  • If you don't like tomato, omit it from the sauce.
  • If you lack broth, water can be used as a substitute.
  • If the sauce is too thick, thin it with more broth.
  • If the sauce is too thin, simmer it on the stove for about 5 minutes to reduce.
  • You can serve with mayonnaise, ajonesa, or alioli sauce as well.
