Chile Verde (Green Chili Sauce)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
One 7-ounce can diced green chilies
1 tablespoon chopped canned jalapeno chili or to taste
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh cilantro
Salt to taste

In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Saute onion and garlic until tender. Stir in flour and cumin. Cook 2 to 3 minutes or until bubbly and beginning to brown. Reduce heat to medium and slowly pour in chicken broth, stirring constantly. Stir in remaining ingredients. Bring mixture nearly to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until thick. You may puree sauce in a blender.
