Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ancho chile pods
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 large red onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 cups plum tomatoes, and their juices
3 roasted red peppers, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • Put the ancho pods in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit for 30 minutes, then remove the stems and seeds and coarsely chop. Reserve the soaking liquid.
  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add the onions and cook until soft. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, peppers and ancho chiles and cook until the tomatoes soften and break down and the liquid thickens, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Let cool for about and carefully transfer the mixture to a food processor and process until smooth. Add the vinegar, honey, salt, pepper, to taste, and cilantro and pulse a few times just to combine. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate until ready to use.
