材料

2 dried ancho chiles, (rinsed)

5 or 6 dried guajillo chiles, (rinsed)

2 ½ cups boiling water

¾ cup chopped white or yellow onion

2 garlic cloves, (coarsely chopped)

¾ teaspoon fine sea salt

½ teaspoon dried oregano (, optional)

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (, optional)

1 tablespoon olive, avocado, or grapeseed oil

手順

Warm the chiles on a comal or griddle, or in a dry cast iron skillet. You want the chiles to soften—do not allow them to burn.

Cut off the stems. (Scissors work well.) Cut a slit in the chiles and tap them over a bowl so the majority of the seeds fall out. Discard the seeds.

Place the chiles in a bowl and cover with the boiling water. Place a small plate on top to keep them submerged. Set aside for 30 minutes, or longer. (see note)

Drain the chiles.

Place the chiles in the blender. Add the onion, garlic, salt, and if using, oregano and cumin. Pour in 1 1/4 cups of water. Blend until you have a smooth puree.

Strain through a wire sieve, pushing through as much of the smooth puree you can. You should have only about 2 tablespoons of skin/seeds left in the strainer.

Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the strained puree and cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should be the thickness of heavy cream. If it seems too thick, stir in a little more water.
