Welcome all! Papa G here. Today is Saucy Sunday. It's where we focus primarily on
low carbohydrate recipes for sauces, condiments, and dressings. Most of the videos will be
short and to the point. Just something to help add a little flavor to your low
carbohydrate diet. Let's get started. For this week's episode I present one of the
easiest enchilada sauces you'll ever make,
Oh, and did I mention it's only half the carbohydrates of the store-bought version and
has twice the flavor. Here's a comparison of my sauce versus that of a popular
store bought version. You'll see, not only does it have about half the carbohydrates,
it also has less calories, less sodium, and a few more health benefits. Let me
show you how to make it. Begin with the sauce pot on medium heat. Add 2 cups of
original V8 tomato juice; 1 cup of chicken stock; a generous amount of chili
powder; some garlic powder; smoked paprika; a little cumin; ground black pepper; and
whenever I use xanthan gum, I like to mix it with at least one or two spices to
help prevent any clumping. Here I mixed it with a little salt. Mix with a whisk
until the xanthan gum and all the other spices are blended well into the liquid.
It's important to note, the type of chili powder you use will make a big
difference in the spice level of your sauce. I'm using the basic chili powder
here, but if you use something different like this ancho chili powder, your spice
level will increase dramatically. So use a little caution. Simmer and stir until
you've reached the desired consistency you prefer. Use now, or pour into an
airtight container and let cool. Store in the refrigerator until needed.
There you have it folks! my low carbohydrate sauce. A super simple low carbohydrate recipe
to help bring Mexican cuisine back to your diet. I hope you enjoyed this video.
