Colombia's foundational sauce, hogao, is made by slowly sautéing fresh tomato and scallion over low heat and thickening it with whole corn flour. Using a small amount of olive oil and a whole-grain thickener turns the sauce into a low-calorie accompaniment.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the vegetables

15 min

Grate the tomato and finely chop the scallion and garlic cloves.

2

Sauté

10 min

Sauté the scallion and garlic with the cumin in the olive oil for 10 minutes.

3

Slow-simmer

60 min

Add the grated tomato with the black pepper and salt, and simmer over low heat, stirring often, for 60 minutes.

4

Thicken with corn flour

10 min

Dissolve the whole corn flour in a few tablespoons of the sauce and stir it back in, simmering for another 10 minutes.

Reminder

Stir the sauce often while it simmers over low heat; if it catches at the bottom it leaves a bitter taste.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Peeling the tomatoes before using them gives the sauce a smoother texture.
