A flavorful and easy-to-make green chile sauce perfect for enhancing your favorite dishes.
Heat the canola oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough by testing with a small piece of onion.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Sprinkle the flour, ground cumin, and dried oregano over the onion mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
This step helps to cook out the raw taste of the flour.
Gradually pour in the vegetable stock while stirring to avoid lumps, and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Use a whisk if needed to ensure a smooth consistency.
Add the roasted green chiles to the saucepan and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
For extra flavor, use freshly roasted green chiles.
Serve the sauce warm or let it cool and store in the refrigerator for later use.
This sauce pairs wonderfully with enchiladas or as a topping for grilled meats.
