Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Red Chile Paste.
Step 1
Start by taking a sharp knife and carefully slicing open each dried ancho and New Mexico chile to remove the seeds and stems.
Step 2
This step is essential for achieving a smooth and flavorful sauce.
Step 3
Next, grab a large saucepan and combine the prepared chiles with chicken stock, diced onion, and minced garlic.
Step 4
Bring this delightful mixture to a boil over high heat, letting the aromas fill your kitchen.
Step 5
Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium and allow it to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the chiles have softened beautifully.
Step 6
This is the perfect time to enjoy the rich scents wafting through the air! When the chiles are ready, carefully pour the mixture into a blender, making sure not to fill it more than halfway to avoid any splatters.
Step 7
Secure the lid with a folded kitchen towel for safety, and pulse a few times to get things moving.
Step 8
Then, blend until the mixture is silky smooth.
Step 9
If you prefer a more hands-on approach, feel free to use a stick blender right in the pot for a quick and easy puree.
Step 10
Enjoy the vibrant flavors of your creation!.
