Yield makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 cups (about 2 1/3 pounds) frozen roasted New Mexican green chile (such as Bueno Foods), page 154, thawed
10 to 12 cloves garlic, roasted and pureed (page 158)
1 tablespoon dried Mexican oregano, toasted (page 161)
2 1/4 cups water
3 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons peanut oil or lard

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat; add the onions and sauté just until translucent, 4 to 5 minutes (do not let them brown). Add the chiles, garlic, and oregano and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add 2 cups of the water, salt, and sugar and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
  • In the jar of a blender, add the chile mixture, lime juice, cilantro, and the remaining 1/4 cup water. Puree until smooth.
  • In large, heavy nonstick skillet, heat the peanut oil over high heat until just smoking. Refry the sauce at a sizzle, stirring constantly, until it coats a wooden spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. Do not allow the sauce to become too thick; add more liquid if necessary. It will keep 1 week in the refrigerator and 1 month in the freezer.
