This sauce is a great alternative to the tomato based sauces. It is definitely worth learning how to make, plus it keeps well for leftovers.

Time 1h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 pasilla chiles
3 ancho chilies or 3 anaheim chilies
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons butter
3 cups chicken stock (not broth)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Roast whole peppers in 350 degree oven until the scent permeates the room (about 15 minutes).
  • De-seed, de-vein, and slice peppers and place them in a large pot with just enough water to boil.
  • Boil peppers covered for 30 minutes (don't cheat you will regret it later).
  • Remove peppers from boiling water and wait until they are cool enough to handle.
  • Holding on to one end of the slice of pepper, gently rub the pulp side with a fork until only the skin remains (skins will make the sauce bitter).
  • Return pepper pulp to water and remove from heat.
  • Saute onion and garlic in butter.
  • Add flour and chicken stock.
  • Stir until mixture begins to thicken.
  • Add spices and water/pulp mixture.
  • Puree and serve.
  • Note: Jalapeno peppers work nicely if you are wanting a warmer sauce.

This sauce is perfect for meal prep. I make a big batch on the weekend and then use it throughout the week to make enchiladas, tacos, and burritos.

I love that this recipe uses fresh ingredients. It makes the sauce taste so much better than the ones made with canned tomatoes and chili powder.
