Red Chile Sauce


I have started compiling recipes and testing them. I decided to start with a red chile sauce that I have used twice so far. I did tweak it the second time. Here's what you will need:

3 Dried Chiles (Its up to you on what to use. I like New Mexico.)
3 Cloves of Garlic
1 Large can Stewed Tomatoes
1 Large Onion
1 teaspoon Cumin
½ Teaspoon Oregano
Salt and Pepper
Water

Start by putting the chiles, garlic, tomatoes, and onion in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Wait a few minutes before putting in the blender and be very careful. Blend on low speed for 2 minutes. Strain the mixture and add cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper.

There you have it. A very simple chile sauce. Don't be afraid to tweak the recipe to your taste. Many hispanic families have different versions of this sauce. This sauce can be used for enchiladas or brown stew meat and then cook with this sauce. I hope you enjoy it!
