New Mexico Red Chile Sauce image

New Mexico Red Chile Sauce is a hot sauce and staple of New Mexican cuisine. This sauce, made with dried red chile powder, is poured over huevos rancheros, enchiladas, grits, burritos, and most meals in New Mexico. It's easy to make and can be stored in your fridge for up to a week. If you love spicy foods, you are going to fall in love with this sauce.

Categories     dinner

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
2 cloves of Garlic, minced
1/3 cup finely chopped Onion (I use Yellow)
3 tablespoons Flour
3/4 cup New Mexico Red Chile Powder
3 cups of Water
1 teaspoon of Salt
1/2 teaspoon of Cumin
1/2 teaspoon of Oregano

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.

Categories     condiment

Time 35m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

20 tabasco or serrano chiles, stemmed and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch slices, or 12 very ripe red jalapenos (about 10 ounces)
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
3/4 cup thinly sliced onions
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 cups water
1 cup distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Combine the peppers, garlic, onions, salt and oil in a non-reactive saucepan over high heat. Saute for 3 minutes. Add the water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until peppers are very soft and almost all of the liquid has evaporated. (Note: this should be done in a very well-ventilated area!) Remove from the heat and allow to steep until mixture comes to room temperature. In a food processor, puree the mixture for 15 seconds, or until smooth. With the food processor running, add the vinegar through the feed tube in a steady stream.
  • Taste and season with more salt, if necessary. (This will depend on the heat level of the peppers you use as well as the brand of vinegar used.) Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and then transfer to a sterilized pint jar or bottle and secure with an airtight lid. Refrigerate. Let age at least 2 weeks before using. Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.

MEXICAN RED CHILE SAUCE



Mexican Red Chile Sauce image

This Mexican Red Chile Sauce is made with dried ancho chiles and can top enchiladas and tamales of any kind. In about 30 minutes, you'll have a flavorful red chile sauce ready to serve with a variety of dishes.

Provided by Elise Bauer

Categories     Salsa     Sauce     Adobo     Chiles     Chili     Chili Sauce     Mexican     Salsa

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 dried ancho (sometimes called pasilla in the US) chiles OR 2 ancho and 2 guajillo chiles
Water
1 large clove garlic
2 black peppercorns, crushed
Pinch of ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, more to taste
Extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Cut the chiles open and remove stem and seeds: Working on one chile at a time, use a paring knife to cut a slit all the way down one side of a chile. Open up the chile and remove the stem and seeds. Remove as much of the veins as you can. Reserve a few of the seeds or veins for adding later if you want added heat. Note when working with chiles, either wear protective gloves or wash your hands very thoroughly with soap and warm water after handling the chilies. Do not touch or rub your eyes if you have been handling chili peppers.
  • Heat the chiles on a skillet: Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Flatten out the dried chiles as well as you can and place on the skillet to heat. Press down on the opened chiles and leave for a few seconds. Turn the chiles over and heat a few seconds more. You do not want to toast or burn the chiles! If they burn, they'll turn bitter. Just heat them enough to draw out more of their flavor.
  • Soften the chiles in hot water: Add the chiles to a small saucepan and add enough water so that they are just covered. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let sit for 10 minutes, until the chiles have softened and plumped up. (OR place the chiles in a small saucepan and pour boiling water over them to cover. Let sit for 15 minutes, until softened.)
  • Purée with garlic, seasonings, water or poaching liquid: Remove the chiles from the pan, reserve the soaking water, and place the chiles in a blender. Add the garlic, salt, crushed peppercorns, ground cloves, and 1 1/2 cups of the soaking liquid (taste the soaking water first, if it seems bitter, use plain water instead). Purée for 2 minutes, until the sauce is completely smooth. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning. If you want more heat, add in a few of the seeds or veins and purée some more. Add more salt if needed.
  • Strain through sieve into a skillet, simmer: Pour the sauce through a sieve into a skillet. Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the sauce. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to maintain the simmer, cook for 10 minutes. Skim off the foam. Remove from heat. Use immediately or pour into a glass jar (plastic will get stained) and refrigerate.

4 cups boiling-hot water
3 tablespoons finely chopped white onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse chiles and split open, discarding stems, seeds, and ribs.
  • Heat a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over moderate heat, then toast chiles, skin sides up, in batches, about 30 seconds (be careful not to burn them, or sauce will be bitter). Transfer chiles as toasted to a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over them. Cover bowl and soak chiles, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 15 minutes.

  • Cook onion, garlic, cumin, and oregano in oil in a large heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, 2 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Whisk in chile mixture and simmer, partially covered, whisking occasionally, until reduced to about 2 1/2 cups, about 30 minutes. Season with salt, vinegar, and sugar.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh red chiles for the best flavor.
  • Wear gloves when handling hot chiles to avoid skin irritation.
  • Remove the seeds and ribs from the chiles if you want a milder sauce.
  • Roast the chiles in the oven or on a comal to enhance their flavor.
  • Use a blender or food processor to puree the chiles until smooth.
  • Add vinegar, water, and salt to taste.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Let the sauce cool completely before storing it in a jar or bottle.
  • Store the sauce in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Red chile hot sauce is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It can be used as a marinade, dipping sauce, or cooking sauce.
