Vegan Tamale Sauce

Tamale Sauce with Chili Powder

Here's a straightforward recipe for a flavorful tamale sauce:

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup chili powder (adjust according to your preference for heat)
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt to taste

Instructions:

  1. Make the Roux: In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the flour and stir together for about 1 minute, or until the mixture becomes a light, golden roux.
  2. Add Chili Powder: Stir in the chili powder to the roux and cook for another minute.
  3. Add Liquids: Slowly pour in the chicken or vegetable broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add the tomato sauce to the mixture.
  4. Season the Sauce: Stir in the ground cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder. Season with salt to taste.
  5. Simmer: Bring the sauce to a simmer and let it cook for about 15 minutes, or until it has thickened to your liking. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Adjust Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, you can thin it by adding a little more broth. If it's too thin, let it simmer for a few more minutes to thicken.

Running 2560x1080 on LG 29UM57-P on an old MacBook Pro OSX El Capitan

Yes. A mid-2011 MacBook Pro running OSX El Capitan can drive a 2560x1080 monitor via HDMI. I was not able to get 60 Hz working. I am settling with 53 Hz. I tried many settings before finding something that works. The refresh rate seems fine to me. Maybe the text could be clearer but for a $200 monitor running this resolution, I'll take it. Apple MacBook 2015 retina resolution is 2560 x 1800. Consider buying a better monitor that may literally give you fewer headaches. Install  SwitchResX Follow the instructions for disabling SIP After rebooting, run SwitchResX via System Preferences Select your LG monitor Click Custom Resolutions Click the + icon  Enter these settings  ( source ) Exit SwitchResX and save Reboot Run SwitchResX via System Preferences Select your LG monitor Click Current Resolutions Select the 2560x1080, 53 Hz setting Enable SIP If you discover better settings, please leave a comment.
