Ancho Chile Sauce for Enchiladas |
|
Print this Recipe (Salsa de Chile Ancho para Enchiladas) Category: Cooking Sauces Makes about 4 1/2 cups This sauce is especially good with enchiladas, such as Stacked Beef Enchiladas. (I also use it with Tamales with Beef or Pork, for both, see Enchiladas, Tamales, and Tortilla Casseroles.) It can be mild to medium-hot, because the heat level of chiles is never certain. The sauce is also good served with grilled chicken or roasted pork. Wear protective kitchen gloves when handling the chiles. 8 large ancho chiles 2 medium tomatoes, peeled and coarsely chopped 2 cloves garlic (medium), chopped 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (Mexican variety preferred), crumbled 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram 1 cup beef broth or chicken broth, canned or homemade (depending on the meat that's used for the enchiladas) 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste 3/4 cup heavy cream Organize all of your own recipes with the Cook'n Recipe Software. Watch and see how easy it is! 1. Wipe the chiles with a damp paper towel. Cut the chiles open and remove the stems and seeds. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the chiles, turning, until they are aromatic, about 10 seconds. Do not burn, or chiles will be bitter. Put the chiles in a bowl, add hot water to cover, and soak about 20 minutes. Drain, discarding the water. 2. Put the chiles, tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, marjoram, and broth in a blender. Blend, in batches if necessary, to a smooth purée. The sauce should have the consistency of heavy cream. If too thick, add about 1 tablespoon water at a time, to reach the desired consistency. 3. In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chile purée. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer the sauce, stirring frequently to blend the flavors, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cream and heat through completely, 3 to 4 minutes. The sauce is ready to use, or store in a covered container, refrigerated up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
