Jalapeño Garlic Tomato Sauce
This jalapeño garlic tomato sauce brings the zesty flavors of Mexican cuisine to your table. The spiciness of jalapeños, the characteristic flavor of garlic, and the freshness of tomatoes create a perfect balance in this sauce. As the garlic and jalapeño sauté in olive oil, the juicy texture of the tomatoes and the tangy aroma of balsamic vinegar result in a silky, rich sauce. This sauce is perfect for pasta, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables, and it's also great as a dip. The secret to the perfect sauce lies in the freshness of the ingredients and the balance of flavors. If you want a more intense spiciness, leave the seeds in the jalapeño, or add an extra pepper. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of garlic. The sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, so you can have it on hand for a quick, tasty meal.

Preparation Steps
1
Wash the tomatoes and dice them. Wash the jalapeños, remove the seeds if you prefer a milder flavor, and mince them finely. Peel and mince the garlic and red onion.
2
Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the red onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3
Add the garlic and minced jalapeños and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant.
4
Add the diced tomatoes, sugar, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the tomatoes have softened and the sauce has thickened slightly.
5
For a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Let it cool slightly, then serve with pasta, grilled meats, or roasted vegetables.
