Creamy-Spicy Sauce
This is a super easy sauce. I'll give some measurements, but you can adjust as needed or to taste. I made this sauce for chunked pork loin, which I served over rice. You can use it on chicken or maybe fish or even on plant based substitutes. Try it with cooked & cubed tofu or paneer cheese or potato. Try it with pasta or rice and mix in chunks of meet or the aforementioned tofu/paneer cheese. I used La Costena Ranchera Salsa. This salsa is a tomatillo and mixed chili peppers sauce. I definitely taste chipotle in there and I love chipotle. This salsa is a dark, roasted color. La Costena products can be found at Latino groceries and other local grocery stores.
First, cut your pork/chicken/tofu/paneer cheese/potato into chunks as big or small as you like. Heat a skillet, add a bit of oil (I like canola & olive oil) or cooking spray. Add whatever you decided to use, meat, tofu, paneer cheese, to the skillet and cook until meat is cooked thoroughly or the tofu/paneer cheese is completely cooked. Sorry I don't have more info on how to tell when tofu/paneer cheese is completely cooked. I just cook paneer cheese so it is a little browned on the edges of the cubes and some of the pieces pop a little. Also, the tried and true method is to just spear a piece with a fork and check it by biting it. For potato, I like to cook the cubed potato in salted boiling water until softened, but not too soft, because I'm adding it to a skillet.
Second, determine how 'saucy' you want your sauce. I like saucy, myself. You can start with 1 cup of sour cream and mix in "salsa to taste". Add the sour cream and salsa mixture to your skillet with your meat, tofu, paneer cheese or potato and heat through, stirring to combine all.
Third, if serving with rice or pasta, fill bowls with rice/pasta and spoon your meat/tofu/paneer cheese and sauce mixture over top. Serve with bread and butter if you like.
