Guajillo Chile Sauce
This is a sauce that can be used in many different dishes from Enchiladas, Tacos, Mole, to Stews and even Pulled Pork. Its completely up to you!
INGREDIENTS:
10 Dried Guajillo Chillies
1 Onion
2 Red Peppers
150g Passata
4 Garlic Cloves
300ml Chilli Stock
Pinch Mexican Oregano
Pinch Cumin
Sugar
Salt
METHOD:
1: Rehydrate the chillies by covering in boiling water and leaving for 30 mins
2: Meanwhile on a direct flame blister the onion, peppers and garlic. If this is not an option it can be done by placing them under a grill (broiler) or simply roasting in the oven for about 30 mins on about 180C/350F
3: Remove the Guajillo's from the liquid but reserve that lovely chilli stock. Peel the garlic, onion and red peppers with your hands and blitz using a food processor then add the chilli stock and passata
4: Now combine the cumin and oregano and pass through a strainer to create a beautiful smooth texture. I usually use a little of the chilli stock to get the last of it out of the food processor
5: It is at this point I will taste and decide how much salt it needs and if its tasting a little bitter then simply add a touch of sugar or even honey. Now jar it and do as you so wish!
