Mexican sauces are the best accompaniment to add flavor to your favorite dishes, as they can both save a bland meal and enhance the flavor of a great delicacy. Moreover, sauces have an incredible diversity of flavors, colors, and aromas that we love. Whether they are green, red, or habanero, here are 4 tips to make your sauces perfect. Fresh ingredients for a perfect sauce The success of a sauce often relies more on the ingredients than on the preparation itself, so make sure to choose the freshest green tomatoes, chiles, onions, and tomatoes you can find at your trusted store. Roast enough but don't burn your ingredients Most sauces require you to roast their main ingredients, such as tomatoes, garlic, onions, and chiles. To ensure your sauce is just right, you need to be careful during this process, as burning any ingredient will make your sauce bitter and harder to fix. Chicken broth, the secret ingredient for sauces It’s no surprise that using natural broths instead of water helps significantly enhance the flavor of sauces, but chicken broth is definitely the secret ingredient that will help boost the flavor even more. Seasonings to finish with a flourish It’s very common for people to season and spice throughout the entire process of preparing sauces, which often leads to a big problem and is the main reason sauces end up too salty. Make sure to season your sauces at the end, when you are about to boil or fry them; stir a little and taste before adjusting the seasoning. Did you already know these tricks for making perfect sauces?
