- pinch de Cinnamon
- pinch de Cumin
- Black pepper opcional
- Tomato paste
- 3tablespoons de Sugar
- 1level tablespoon de Fine salt
- 1level tablespoon de Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
Heat a little olive oil in a saucepan or skillet.
Add the chopped medium onion. The amount of onion should be generous, as it is the secret to a good ketchup.
Dica: The secret to good ketchup is using plenty of onion.
Lightly sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon over the onion to give it a touch of flavor.
Dica: Cinnamon is preferable to cloves, which can be too strong.
Add a tiny bit of cumin. If you want a spicy version, also add black pepper.
Sauté the onion until it achieves a light brown color and is slightly toasted, indicating the correct point for the next ingredients.
Incorporate the tomato paste into the sautéed mixture.
Add three tablespoons (generous) of sugar.
Add one level tablespoon of fine salt.
Add one level tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce to enhance the flavor.
Let the mixture reduce over low heat, allowing the sugar to caramelize and the sauce to thicken until it reaches the usual ketchup consistency.
Dica: Thickening occurs through reduction along with the caramelization of the sugar.
Transfer the finished ketchup through a fine-mesh sieve to achieve the perfect texture, discarding the solid residue if you desire a smooth sauce.
Dica: The ideal consistency is thick and similar to store-bought ketchup.
