Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 2 large onions, halved and thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons ancho chile powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/4 teaspoon hot sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

For the onion sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chile powder and cinnamon and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 cup water, the ketchup, hot sauce, salt and black pepper and bring to a simmer. Cook until thickened and the onions are very soft, adding more water if needed, about 25 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool to room temperature before serving.
