This is my taco sauce, the picture does not do it justice. It is a sauce that I use for a variety of dishes. For one night, I sprinkled some splet flour on sliced boneless chicken breasts, gave them a quick saute to get a little color and put them in the sauce to poach. Another time I put pieces of fish right in the sauce to poach. Taco’s are easy to make and fun. A little chicken or fish for those who eat it can easily fit in an alkaline diet. It’s all about the portion size. So a small piece of chicken or fish in a taco filled with vegetables and alkaline rice is delicious.
Taco Sauce
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 small onion
1 jalapeno pepper seeds removed (if you like it spicy keep the seeds in)
1 clove garlic
1 Tbsp. Paprika
1 Tbsp. Oregano
1 Tbsp. Cumin
1 ½ tsp. sea salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. Spelt Four
1 14 ounce can of tomato puree
2 cups vegetable stock
Heat olive oil in a pot. Using a Cuisinart or blender, pulse the onion, garlic and jalapeno until very small, do not puree. Add to the oil and saute for about 4 minutes. Add the paprika, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper and cook another 3 minutes until the onions are softened. Add the spelt flour and stir. Cook about 2-3 minutes, this will cook the flour. Add the tomato and the vegetable stock. Simmer for 20 minutes.
