- 2 Big Red Dried Chilies
- 1 Cup Onions - Diced
- 4 Cloves Garlic - Minced
- 3 Cups Tomatoes - Chopped
- 1 Tbsp Chili Powder (1-5 Tbsp, depending how you like it!)
- 1/2 tsp Cumin
- 2 tsp Oregano
- 3/4 tsp Salt
- 1 Cup Water
Peaceful Preparation:
- Soak the 2 dried chilies in boiling hot water for 10 minutes. Carefully pull off the stem and the seeds and stem will come out easily.
- Grab a large skillet with deep sides. Pour a little water or vegetable broth inside, sauté the minced garlic and chopped garlic for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and soft.
- Add the chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt. Sauté until fragrant. Add 3 cups of chopped tomatoes, 1 cup of water and the soaked chilies.
- Simmer for 15-20 minutes until desired thickness. Set aside to cool, then proceed to blend (in 1/2 batches if needed) until smooth. Makes 3 cups.
