So I ended up with a sauce for consumption in the near future, it wasn't planned but this is how it happened:
I was overcome with the desire for tacos so I started with the following:
1/2 a large onion diced
4 cloves of garlic roughly chopped
1 large can of tomato puree
1 jalapeno (all my plant can spare right now)
Cilantro to taste
~ 1 lb section of brisket (cut from a larger piece)
I sauteed the onions in olive oil til translucent then added the garlic for a few minutes then added the tomato puree and a can worth of water followed by some cilantro and a diced jalapeno and brought to a simmer for ~30 mins. Then I placed the piece of brisket in the crock pot, ladled in sauce to cover and cooked it all day long.
After the brisket was done and enjoyed I threw about 40 dried de Arbols in the remaining sauce and let cook for an additional 3 hours or so on low. Everything into the blender whiz whiz and Mexican Love Fire was born. More love than fire but I have to label things so my roommates know to stay away as they can't take the heat. Sorry I don't have pics, might be able to grab the camera and snap a pic tomorrow as the color is great.
I posted this here because though we went via cooking we ended up at sauce. If anyone ever finds themselves with extra cooking sauce I highly recommend the add peppers, cook, blend method. Let me know what you think or if anyone has done something similar.
