Green Chile Enchilada Sauce

Green Chile Enchilada Sauce

2 teaspoons olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 1/2 cups green chile, peeled, seeded and chopped

1 cup onion, chopped

1/2 cup tomato, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups water

Heat a saucepan over medium heat; add oil and sauté the garlic for 1 or 2 minutes or until it is just soft but not browned.

Add remaining ingredients, bring them to a boil, and simmer them for 10 to 15 minutes or until the liquid is almost gone and the remaining sauce is fairly thick.

Yields about 2 cups.
