Instructions
- Remove the stems and seeds from all the chili peppers and tear them into small pieces. Wash your hands, then fill a bowl with hot water.
- Soak the chili peppers in the hot water for 10-15 minutes, until they soften. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the soaking water.
- Transfer the soaked peppers to a blender and add the garlic, oregano, cumin, coriander, oil, and salt.
- Pulse the blender a few times. Then, add the stock and the reserved soaking water. Puree until smooth.
- Place a large sauté pan over medium heat on your stovetop. Holding a fine mesh sieve over the pan, pour the contents of the blender through the sieve to strain out any remaining solids. Discard the solids.
- Bring the sauce to a soft boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until it reaches your desired consistency.
