Instructions
  1. Remove stems and seeds from dried chili peppers.
  2. Place peppers in a single layer on a baking sheet.
  3. Roast in 350°F oven for 2 to 5 minutes or until you smell a sweet roasted aroma, checking often to avoid burning.
  4. Remove from oven and soak in enough hot water (3 to 5 cups) to cover for about 30 minutes or until cool.
  5. Put peppers and 2 1/2 cups of the soaking water into a blender (save the remaining soaking water).
  6. Add garlic, cumin and salt.
  7. Cover and blend until smooth.
  8. In a 2-quart sauce pan, stir flour into oil or melted shortening over medium heat until browned.
  9. Carefully stir in blended chili mixture.
  10. Simmer uncovered for 5 to 10 minutes or until slightly thickened. (If sauce gets too thick, stir in up to 1 cup of the remaining soaking water until you reach the desired thickness).
Notes
  1. CAUTION! When working with chilies, use gloves to protect your skin, and avoid contact with your eyes while handling. Remove gloves and wash hands thoroughly with soap and water to remove all of the chili oils.
