Note:
Tomato Sauce is one of the most commonly used preparations in Cuban cuisine. Check out Chef Iván's recipe, which is inspired by the famous Vita Nuova Sauce. We recommend it because it is perfect for making the most of ripe tomatoes. Moreover, it is simple, easy to prepare, and has a delicious taste of Cuba. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients:
  • 1 can of 500 ml of peeled tomatoes
  • 1 can of 200 ml of tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon of garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon of cumin
  • 2 tablespoons of refined sugar
  • ½ teaspoon of ground pepper
  • 1 cube of chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons of complete seasoning with dried parsley
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
Instructions:

To make the sauce, place all the ingredients in the blender. Blend for about 3 minutes until all the elements are fully combined. When ready, pour the mixture through a fine strainer.

Put the strained mixture in a saucepan, cover it, and leave it over medium heat until it starts to boil. Let it simmer for 3 more minutes. Stir to prevent it from sticking to the bottom.

Save this sauce and use it in your preferred Cuban food preparations.
