Robb Walsh's Chili Powder image

Come up with a good recipe for chili powder, and it will give you some of the confidence to call your chili the best you've ever made. The Texas restaurateur Robb Walsh uses a version of this recipe in his classic chili con carne, but feel free to use it in any recipe that needs a hit of smoke and depth of flavor.

Categories     soups and stews

Time 20m

Yield About 1/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 medium-sized ancho chiles
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1/4 teaspoon Mexican oregano
Pinch garlic powder (optional)

Steps:

  • Toast chiles in a pan, then remove them and allow to cool. In the same pan, toast cumin seeds.
  • Seed the anchos and cut them into strips and then process them in a spice grinder with the cumin seeds, a big pinch of Mexican oregano and, if you like, a shake of garlic powder.
  • Use it in chili, or store in a sealed jar. Use it quickly, though. It grows stale fast.
