FOR THE SAUCE
FOR THE VEGETABLES
SAUCE: Heat a griddle or heavy skillet to very hot and cook the chiles for
10 seconds to soften. Rinse the chiles and place in a saucepan with 2 cups
of water. Bring to a boil and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Reserving
the liquid, place the chiles in a blender with the allspice, cloves, cumin,
oregano, and garlic. Blend with the top slightly off and protected by a
kitchen towel or the heat will blow the top off during blending. Add the
chile cooking water and blend again. Add the tomatoes and blend again.
Heat the oil in a saucepan. Press a third of the sauce through a strainer
into the hot oil and cook, stirring. Press another third, then the
remainder, adding a little hot water if necessary to get the sauce through.
Reduce the heat and simmer the smoothed sauce for 10 minutes.
VEGETABLES: Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and carrots
and cook for 10 minutes. Add the nopales, corn, and cilantro and boil for
an additional 5 minutes. In a bowl, mix the 3 cups of water with the masa,
a little at a time until it's all incorporated. Slowly pour the thinned
masa into the boiling vegetable-chile water and stir well. Add 3 more cups
of water. Cook for 10 minutes to thicken. Combine the sauce and vegetables.
Serve in wide, shallow bowls accompanied by warm tortillas.

“A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride. #C.S. Lewis”
