Steps:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, add the garlic and the onion. Saute in the oil for about 3 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Then whisk in the flour. Let the flour cook for 2 minutes, whisking it frequently. In a large bowl, whisk the red chile powder and the water together. While whisking the flour mixture, slowly add the red chile and water mixture. Whisk until smooth and bring to a steady simmer and let the sauce thicken over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Stir frequently. Once the sauce has thickened, add the salt, cumin, and oregano. Let the sauce simmer on low for another 3 minutes. I like to bottle the sauce up in mason jars. I think the sauce tastes best after it has been sitting in the fridge overnight. This recipe yields 3 3/4 cups of red chile sauce. Charles and I ate it all in 5 days.
NEW MEXICO RED CHILE SAUCE
Red chile is a staple of the New Mexican and West Texan diet, and this recipe is my grandmother's recipe. When I make it, it reminds me of the smells of her cooking in her kitchen, fresh corn tortillas, beans, and red chile peppers. You can kick up the spiciness by adding more arbol chile pods.

Tips:
- Select ripe and flavorful Hatch red chilies: Look for chilies that are deep red in color and have a firm texture. Avoid chilies that are bruised or have blemishes.
- Roast the chilies properly: Roasting the chilies brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them on a grill, in a hot oven, or under a broiler. Just be sure to keep a close eye on them so that they don't burn.
- Remove the seeds and stems from the chilies: This will help to reduce the heat of the sauce. If you want a spicier sauce, you can leave some of the seeds in.
- Use a food processor or blender: This will help to create a smooth and consistent sauce. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also mash the chilies by hand.
- Add vinegar and salt to taste: The vinegar will help to balance out the heat of the chilies, and the salt will help to enhance their flavor.
- Store the sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator: The sauce will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Conclusion:
Hatch red chili sauce is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's perfect for enchiladas, tacos, burritos, and other Mexican-inspired dishes. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chicken, fish, or vegetables. No matter how you use it, Hatch red chili sauce is sure to add a kick of flavor to your meals.
