RED CHILE PASTE
The New Mexican dried chiles give this puree its bright red color and the anchos give it a rich, raisiny flavor. You can vary the dried chiles if you want to make different kinds of chili pastes.

Steps:
- Make a slit in each of the ancho chiles and New Mexico chiles with a sharp knife, and remove the seeds and stem. Place the chiles in a large saucepan, and add the chicken stock, onion, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the chiles have softened, about 15 minutes.
- Pour the chile mixture into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the chile mixture right in the cooking pot.

Steps:

- Store refrigerated in an airtight container, covering the top of the paste with a little bit of oil.

THAI CHILI PASTE
This is your basic Thai curry paste, and it may be frozen, thawed and re-frozen again at least a few times until used. There is no salt in this curry paste, as the shrimp paste is salty enough. I searched for this recipe so I can make a soup here on 'zaar that looks really yum.
