Modo De Preparar Chile Colorado
(Preparation of Dried Red Chile Pods)
The "ristras" that decorate New Mexico's countryside in the fall are
strings of red chiles sundrying for preservation and later use in
sauces.
All red chile recipes are prepared from native grown chile. Canned,
red chile powder available in the "spice section" of grocery stores
should not be substituted. {Usually prepared chili, chili powders,
and salsas contain a lot of ingredients that are not chile. Also,
different chile peppers have different tastes. Only New Mexico chiles
taste like New Mexico chiles. ed.] Temperature: 250F Roasting Time:
Approximately
10    minutes
Dried red chile pods, stems removed
1. Rinse and dry chile pods. Remove seeds, if desired.
2. Place chile pods on a cookie sheet in a 250F oven for
approximately 10 minutes. Turn chile pods several times to avoid
scorching (the chile pods will turn a deeper red).
3. The toasted chile pods may be used for preparing red chile powder,
or chile sauce
