3
Transfer the sauce to a deep bowl or large jar. Use an immersion blender to blend the sauce until it is nearly smooth but still has a bit of texture. Flecks of cilantro should be visible. (Alternatively, use an upright blender or food processor for this step.)
4
Taste the sauce. If it’s sharp, add ½ teaspoon cane sugar to balance it.
5
Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Use in huevos rancheros, enchiladas, or another of the serving suggestions in the blog post above.
