Ingredients
- 4-5 dried ancho peppers
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Remove the stems and seeds from the dried ancho peppers and discard them. Tear the peppers into small pieces and place them in a bowl.
Step 2
Pour 2 cups of boiling water over the ancho peppers and let them soak for 15-20 minutes until they are soft.
Step 3
Drain the peppers and reserve the soaking liquid.
Step 4
In a blender or food processor, combine the ancho peppers, garlic, olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, cumin, and salt. Add 1 cup of the reserved soaking liquid and blend until the sauce is smooth. Add more soaking liquid as needed to achieve the desired consistency.
Step 5
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. If it's too thick, you can thin it out with a bit of water or more soaking liquid.
Step 6
Pour the sauce into a jar or container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
