The Classsic Dish that can be used for many more dishes
Ingredients
- 3 Dried Anchos or Guajillo – your Choice – Use 0.5tsp of powder for each chilli whole pod, you do not need more chilli in this dish, I like it with these but traditionally it is just the NMR chilli
- 5 New Mexico Red Chilli or 2 Tsps of New Mexico Powder
- 1 large Garlic Clove
- 2 Whole Cloves Crushed
- 2 Black Peppercorns Crushed
- ½ Tsp Salt – or to taste
- Olive Oil
Instructions
- See how to hydrate Chilli
- Prepare the whole chillies as described
- Add a saucepan to the stove and heat up a cup of water – place the powder or chopped up dried chillies to the pan and make the water is just covering the chilli
- Bring to the boil and then allow to sit – if using powder you can bypass the next stage
- Take the cooled chilli water and blend through for a few minutes – please do not do this with hot water!
- Add the other ingredients to the blender or if using powder add to the saucepan and stir through
- Place back into the saucepan and bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes
- Remove ad foam and serve or place in a sealed glass jar to keep in the fridge for a few days
