Guajillo Sauce Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 10-12 dried guajillo peppers

  stemmed and seeded
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 small onion chopped
• 4 cloves garlic chopped
• 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• Water as needed

Instructions

• 1 Dry toast the dried guajillo peppers in a heated pan over medium heat. Toast
  them a couple minutes per side, until they start to puff up slightly.
• 2 Cool, then set them into a heavy bowl with enough hot water to cover them.
• 3 Let them soak for 20 minutes, or until they become very soft. Remove them and
  place them in a blender or food processor.
• 4 Reserve 1 cup of the dark soaking water, if desired.
• 5 In the same heated pan, add the olive oil. Cook the onion about 3 minutes, or
  until it becomes translucent.
• 6 Add the garlic and cook another minute, until you can smell the garlic.
• 7 Add them to the food processor along with the sea salt and cumin.
• 8 Pour in the reserved soaking liquid and process to form a sauce. It will be very
  thick at this point. Or, use water to thin it out.
• 9 Add in more water, a half cup at a time, until you achieve your desired
  consistency.
• 10 Strain, if desired, and serve as needed.
