Hogao Sauce

Hogao sauce is the Colombian version of a creole sauce. It is used as a base in many Colombian dishes as well as a dipping sauce and a topping for arepas. This is extremely simple to make. The most important thing to do in preparation is to occasionally give the sauce a stir to prevent any burning. Hogao stores in your refrigerator for up to a week.
