Spanish Veracruz Sauce Recipe

ingredients

1/2 medium onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small Serrano chile, seeded and minced
1 can (14.5 ounce size) petite cut tomatoes with juice
1/4 cup pimento-stuffed green olives, sliced
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch ground cloves

directions

Saute the onion in olive oil over medium-high heat until soft and transparent, about 8 minutes. Add garlic and chiles. Cook for an additional minute to release the flavors.

Add the tomatoes, olives, lime juice, salt, sugar, cinnamon and cloves to the sauce and simmer for 10 minutes.

This sauce is excellent served over baked red snapper.
