Empanada dipping sauce
This is a dipping sauce to accompany the beef empanadas that I published today, though it can be used for any type of empanadas - or used as a dip for corn chips, veggie sticks etc! Loosely based on a traditional Colombian sauce called hogao. Makes enough for 1 batch beef empanadas.

4 servings
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F (200°C fan).
- Roast tomato 20 min - Toss the tomatoes and garlic with the olive oil in a bowl. Place the tomatoes on the tray, cut side up, then roast for 20 minutes.
- Roast garlic 15 min - Add garlic to the tray and roast for another 15 minutes until the edges of the tomato are browned. Remove from oven and cool on tray.
- Blitz - Transfer to a container that just fits the head of a stick blender. Add all remaining ingredients except the green onion. Blitz until smooth - about 5 seconds. Add the green onion and blitz until it's finely chopped.
- Serve with empanadas - or corn chips, vegetable sticks, bread!
