Categories: Seasonings and Sauces

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup diced green onions (green parts only)
• 3 garlic cloves, crushed but left whole
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder (though can use just regular chili powder also)
• 1.5 tablespoons regular chili powder 4 1/2 cups chicken broth
• 1/2 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate (I used dark chocolate and it worked too)

Directions

1. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high high heat. Saute onions until tender. Stir in garlic cloves, oregano, cumin and cinnamon; saute for a few minutes. Fish out garlic cloves and discard.

2. Add a small amount of chicken broth (to keep chili powder from clouding in air!).

3. Stir in flour and chili powder, stirring until sauce thickens. Slowly whisk in remaining chicken broth; reduce until sauce reaches desired consistency.

4. Stir in chocolate until melted and well blended.
