I have been using this recipe for a year or so, and it tastes great. Makes chili taste like chili and is awsome in mexican cooking. Often times I can't find all the dried chiles listed here, so I'll just mix and match, but keeping the ratio roughly the same. Ingredients:
3 ancho chilies, stemmed, seeded and sliced |
3 cascabel chiles, stemmed, seeded and sliced |
3 dried arbol chiles, stemmed, seeded and sliced |
2 tablespoons whole cumin seeds |
2 tablespoons garlic powder |
1 tablespoon dried oregano |
1 teaspoon smoked paprika |
Directions:
1. Toast the chiles and cumin seeds in a cast iron skillet for a few minutes. Don't let them cook too long and inhale the smoke, because you'll get a nasty chemical burn in lungs, nose and throat.
2. let the chiles and seeds cool.
3. place all the ingredients into a blender and blend on the highest speed you blender can dish out.
4. store in an airtight jar.
5. be sure to wash you blender carafe a few times after doing this or you fruit smoothy or margarita will taste like chiles.
