Ingredients
8 ancho chiles, dried
3 garlic cloves
1/2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 Tbsp dried oregano
1/8 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup orange juice
1/2 medium onion, diced
1 Tbsp tomato paste
1/8 cup oil
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp black pepper
6 cups of water
Method
In a large pot over high heat add the water and half of the vinegar.
Cut the tops of the chiles off and remove the seeds. Fry the chiles in hot vegetable oil for 10 to 15 seconds per side. Put the fried chiles in the water and vinegar liquid and bring to a boil. Cover, turn the heat off and let soak overnight.
Remove the chiles from the liquid and discard liquid. In a blender add the chiles and some of the chicken broth and puree until a paste has formed.
In a large saucepan, sauté the garlic and onions. Add in the broth, chile paste, seasonings and juices. Simmer for 30 minutes or until thickened to your liking.
