2 – 7 ¾oz cans of El Pato
½ white onion
1 Jalapeno
1 lime
1 tsp salt
1 bunch of cilantro
3 cloves of garlic
- simmered the tomato sauce for a few min to kinda concentrate the flavor and cook of any potential aluminum taste. while that was simmering, I put the garlic cloves in my mortar and pestle and mashed him up and then toss them into the sauce. pulled it off the heat and added in the rest of the ingredients.
overall it's not bad.. still missing…something. maybe it'll be better in the morning? maybe more salt? maybe more lime? but it's a good start. i tried the sauce on its own and for being straight out of the can, it's not bad. a good kick but needed a little extra oomf.
100% into hearing your suggestions for making this hit the mark.
for reference i have on hand, most spices including ancho powder, i have dried chilies and one more lime. i don't wanna overdo it and get lost in spices as i like the fresh ingredients to stand on their own. it's so close! I'm just missing that something.

I’ve made 3 batches of this in the past two weeks and I respect the amount of onion and cilantro you’re doing here! I usually go for white onion too but tried yellow and it works well also. I have also added green onion to the yellow. But my suggestion for your “something missing” is black pepper!
Welcome to the Duck side.😎
Try a little bit of cumin
