🧂 食材
- 4 medium Ripe Tomatoes
- 2 medium Yellow Onion
- 4 Scallions (Green Onions)
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
- 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil or Achiote Oil(Achiote oil adds a beautiful color and subtle flavor.)

👨🍳 步驟
- 1
Prepare the aromatics: Finely dice the 4 medium ripe tomatoes and 2 medium yellow onions. Mince the 3 cloves of garlic. Finely chop the white and green parts of the 4 scallions.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 2
Sauté the onions: Heat the 3 tablespoons of oil in a medium saucepan or skillet over medium heat (approx. 175°C / 350°F). Add the diced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent and soft, about 8-10 minutes. Do not brown them.
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Add garlic and cumin: Stir in the minced garlic and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin. Cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
⏱️ 1 minute - 4
Cook the tomatoes: Add the diced tomatoes to the saucepan. Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and the sauce has thickened considerably. The mixture should look like a rich, chunky sauce.
⏱️ 20 minutes - 5
Finish and season: Stir in the chopped scallions. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the scallions are slightly softened. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. The hogao should be well-seasoned.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 6
Cool and serve: Remove from heat and let the hogao cool slightly. It can be used immediately as a base for other dishes or stored for later use. The texture should be thick and saucy, not watery.
