Simple Ancho Enchilada Sauce

Anchos are dried poblano peppers with a mild, earthy and sweet flavor. To me, while toasting, they smell like raisins. They are one of my favorite dried peppers to cook with and I often use them in moles. Unlike mole, this sauce is super simple.

To begin I cut the tops off of 4 ancho peppers and then slit them on the side and cut them in half to remove the seeds and veins. I then toasted them on a griddle over medium heat until they became aromatic.

Next I simmered them in hot water for about 20 minutes. When they were soft I transferred them into my ninja with one cup of the cooking liquid, two tsp minced garlic, and 1/2 tsp salt. I blended the mixture on high for approximately three minutes.

I poured the sauce through a sieve and using a pestle pushed the liquid through, leaving behind any fleshy bits. I then whisked in one egg and the sauce was ready to dip tortillas in.

I want to say that I got this recipe out one if Diane Kennedy’s cookbooks, but it’s been so long since I jotted it down on a recipe card that I can’t remember for sure. 🤷‍♀️

I used this sauce this evening to make cheese and cactus enchiladas.

Vegetable Garden 2021 🌱

🌱 Vegetable Garden 2021: I had some awesome help this year! Check out the map & harvest dates chart, the kids' how-to, and a trip down memory lane.

This year, I had some big help in the garden! These two have been gardening since they could walk, and I think they’re enjoying it and really getting the hang of it. The kids have their own YouTube channel now, with a little hep from some old guy that blogs occasionally. Check out their gardening how-to: I also made a map, and decided to make a chart of the suggested harvest dates on the tags…
