5 cups water
1 teaspoon dried, crushed mexican oregano
3 cloves garlic, crushed
salt to taste
Directions:
1. Wash dried peppers and remove stems and seeds. Place in a blender or food processor with the water, oregano, garlic, and a pinch or two of salt.
2. Blend on high until peppers are thoroughly pureed, pulsing occasionally. Adjust seasoning with salt, if needed.
