- Heat oil in a saucepan on medium. Stir in onion and garlic, and cook until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes. Add cinnamon and cook 1 minute. Add tomato sauce, pureed mixture, Cubitos En Polvo, water, sugar and chocolate. Mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
