Ingredients:
3 tbsp of flour of choice (I typically use coconut, cassava, or normal flour)
3 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp Real Salt (Skip if using a super salty bone broth)
1 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (Add more if you like it spicy or remove for more mild flavor)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp avocado oil
1/4 cup tomato paste
3 cups bone broth of choice
1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder (DO NOT SKIP)
Pinch of cinnamon
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (optional but recommended)
Steps:
1 - Mix the flour and all seasoning together in a small bowl until combined
2 - In a large cast iron skillet, melt the butter in the avocado oil on medium heat
3 - Add spice mixture and cook while whisking for 2 minutes
4 - Whisk in the tomato paste until completely combined and let cook for a minute or two
5 - Reduce the heat to low, then gradually whisk in the chicken broth. Continue to whisk until smooth and the lumps are dissolved.
6 - Whisk in cocoa powder and cinnamon
7 - Let sauce come to a simmer
8 - Bring the sauce to a simmer and continue to simmer, whisking often, until it thickens to your desired consistency, about 5-7 minutes. Keep in mind the sauce will thicken a little as it cools.
9 - Remove from heat and stir in apple cider vinegar. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired with additional salt, cayenne, or vinegar. (If you want it sweeter, drizzle a little honey in.)
10 - If the sauce thickens too much, whisk in additional broth until it reaches the desired consistency.
