Ingredients

4 ounces dried New Mexico or California red chiles stems and seeds removed * See Notes
2 cups chicken bone broth (or water) *See Notes
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons organic garlic powder
1 teaspoon organic onion powder
pink salt
cracked black pepper

Instructions

Place dried chiles in a large pot of water, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, and place a plate or bowl on top to make sure the chiles stay submerged in the hot water. Allow the chiles to steep for 30 minutes.
Remove the stems and seeds from the chiles and place them in a food processor with the remaining ingredients. Process until very smooth.
Pass the sauce through a strainer or double layers of cheesecloth to remove the skins of the chile. Use a rubber spatula (or your hand) to press it well.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Use immediately or place in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator or freeze it.
