## ingredients
|
|
|
|
* 8-12 whole New Mexico dried red chile pods
|
|
* 2 cups stock, pork or chicken
|
|
* 2 tbsp flour
|
|
* 2 tbsp butter or lard
|
|
* 1 tsp salt
|

## directions
|
|
|
|
Rinse chile pods thoroughly in warm water, remove stems and seeds. Add to pot with stock. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 5-10 minutes until pods are softened.
|
|
|
|
Remove from heat and put the stock and pods into a blender. Add salt, oregano and garlic to blender. Blend until fairly smooth, set aside. Made a roux with the flour and butter or lard in the same pot on medium heat, whisk until the flour is cooked, about 5 minutes.
|
|
|
|
Add the contents of the blender to the roux and whisk together. Add the honey and/or tomato paste if desired. Lower heat to a simmer, cook everything together for 20 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. Add additional stock if it's too thick or potato flakes if it's too thin. Taste and adjust salt level if it needs it.

## notes on selecting chile pods
|
|
|
|
Chimayo red chile pods are ideal, followed by other land race cultivars like Jarales, Jemez Pueblo, San Felipe Pueblo, San Juan Pueblo, Santo Domingo Pueblo, Tesuque Pueblo, Velarde, and Zia. Lemitar, Barker or Sandia Hot would be my second tier. Look for sun-dried chiles which have minimal discoloration and brown spots. They should be bright red as opposed to dark. Chile powder will do in a pinch but whole pods taste better.
