Sauce

  • Combine Yellow Onion, Cilantro & Garlic into a food processor. Blend until smooth.

Then, reduce heat and maintain simmer for 10 minutes.

Hey there, I'm Calvin! I am seriously interested in where my food comes from and how it is prepared. I'm a father to a growing family living in Southern California just trying to put food on our table that my wife and kids will eat without breaking the bank or spending my whole life in the kitchen
