This is a classic Mexican sauce that forms the basis for a whole range of Mexican dishes. It also makes a wonderful marinade for meat.
Ingredients:
8 guajillo chillies, dried
8 ancho chillies, dried
6 garlic cloves
1 tsp
ground cumin
1/2 tsp
cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp
Mexican oregano
60ml lemon juice
120ml white vinegar
180ml orange juice
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
2 tbsp tomato paste
60ml oil
1 jalapeño chilli, seeded and diced
500ml chicken, beef or good
vegetable stock (dependent on what the sauce is for)
1 tsp
black pepper
3l water
Method:
Trim the chillies and fry in hot oil for 10 seconds. Add to a pot along with the water and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, take off the heat and leave to soak over night. Extract the chillies with a slotted spoon, transfer to a blender along with a little of the stock and puree to a smooth paste.
Meanwhile fry the onions and garlic in the oil in a pan for about 5 minutes or until soft. Add all the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer then cook for 30 minutes, or until nicely thickened.
