Directions

  1. Coat the bottom of a heavy saucepan with oil, add chile pods. Toast over medium heat until aromatic, about 3 minutes.

  2. Stir in onion and garlic, cook and stir until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Add enough chicken stock to allow pods to float, simmer until they develop the texture of wet leather, 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. Fill blender halfway with chile-stock mixture. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder, pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour into a bowl, repeat with remaining mixture. Strain sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a saucepan over medium heat. Discard solids.

  4. Stir cumin, coriander, and oregano into the saucepan, add honey. Cook until sauce is thick and evenly coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.

Recipe Note

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.
