Ingredients:


2 cups water as needed

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried mint

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground caraway seeds

1 tablespoon ground cumin

5 cloves garlic -- peeled

5 small hot red chilies -- such as piquins and stems removed

7 medium dried New Mexico chilies -- seeds and stems -- removed
 

Preparation / Directions:


Soak the chilies in water until they are soft, at least 30 minutes. Place them in a food processor or blender with the rest of the ingredients and puree to a thick paste, adding water if necessary to avoid a mixture that is too dry. Add to vegetable and meat stews or serve as a table condiment. Will keep up to 6 weeks in the refrigerator, covered with a thin film of olive oil.
