Easy Creole Sauce Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons peanut oil
• 2 tablespoons flour
• ½ cup chicken stock
• 2 jalapeno peppers

  chopped (use bell peppers for a milder version – I used jalapenos and red bell pepper)
• 1 medium onion

  chopped
• 1 stalk celery

  chopped
• 4 cloves garlic

  chopped
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 pounds tomatoes

  chopped (or use 2 cans fire roasted tomatoes for extra flavor)
• 2 tablespoons Creole seasoning blend

  see recipe notes
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• Hot sauce to taste

  Crystal preferably, or similar, about 2-3 tablespoons is good
• 1 tablespoons sweet chili sauce

  Sriracha is good here
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Juice from 1 lemon

Instructions

• 1 Heat the oil in a large pan to medium heat and add the flour. Stir to form a
  roux. Continually stir the roux until it starts to brown, about 15 minutes. You
  can stir longer to get a darker color if you prefer.
• 2 Stir in the chicken stock. The roux will thicken up in the pan.
• 3 Add the peppers, onion and celery until softened, about 5 minutes.
• 4 Add the garlic and cook another minute, until you can smell that gorgeous
  garlic.
• 5 Stir in the butter, tomatoes, Creole seasonings, Worcestershire, vinegar, hot
  sauce and sweet chili sauce. Adjust with salt and pepper.
• 6 Bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. You can
  simmer longer to develop more flavor.
• 7 Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice.
• 8 Serve as desired!
