INSTRUCTIONS
Discard stems from chiles and remove seeds. Rinse chiles under cold
running water. Bring chiles with water to a simmer in a nonreactive 1
1/2-quart saucepan. Add onion, garlic, and a pinch of salt, then
simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally (add more water if necessary
to cover chiles), until softened, about 30 minutes.
While chiles are cooking, finely grind cumin seeds with a mortar and
pestle or in an electric coffee/spice grinder.
Transfer chiles and vegetables with a slotted spoon to a blender and
puree with cumin and cup chile water (save remaining chile water)
until smooth. (Sauce should be thick but not stiff; add more chile
water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary.) Season with salt.
Cooks' note:
. Sauce may be made 3 days ahead, cooled completely, and chilled,
covered. Reheat before serving.
Makes about 1 cup.
