Roxy's Sauce Piquante
MAKE IT SHINE!
ADD YOUR PHOTO
This is my mom's sauce piquante recipe (pronounced: pe-caw)...she hates being called Roxy though, so the title is a special little joke, just for her (love you mom :-) ). I used to HATE this as a kid (something about cooked bell peppers grossed me out), but my "adult tastebuds" love it! I've been meaning to make it at home, but I keep forgetting to bring the recipe home. Now it shall forever be immortalized in Recipezaar so I can access it from anywhere.
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Serves:
- Units:
ingredients
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon white pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
directions
- Sautee the veggies and garlic in the oil until tender.
- Add the crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce, and spices.
- Simmer 10 - 15 minutes.
- Taste for spiciness; add more of the 3 peppers if you want it hotter (but watch out because it gets hotter over time).
- Add the raw chicken and simmer until chicken is cooked through.
- Serve over cooked rice (mom prefers Jasmine, which is more authentic, I believe; I use brown rice for everything).
- Special note from mom: "Really good as a left over, when the spices have had time to really mature.".
