CHILE MORITA SALSA
Some friends sent me some morita chiles (dried chipotles, basically) from their travels in Texas and Mexico, so I looked up recipes and found this one courtesy of seriouseats.com. Very simple (3 ingredients + a bit of water!) and *way* delicious! If you can't find moritas, you can substitute chipotles. We served as a dip for chips, but the poster recommends it both as a marinade and a topping for beef -- got to try that next!

Steps:
- Take the moritas and cook them in a hot dry cast-iron skillet until they inflate and start to pop a little (about two minutes). Into the cast-iron skillet, pour water over the chiles, turn off the heat, and allow them to soften and become plumper, which will take about half an hour.
- Meanwhile, stir the whole tomatillos in another skillet until they blister and black spots appear. Immediately transfer them to a blender. Place the garlic, moritas and a pinch of salt in the blender, and puree until smooth. It will be a deep red color with lots of seeds.
