- Since CHIMAYO CHILES are prevalent in New Mexico, the mayonnaise idea is
- one I wouldn't take seriously.
-
- SALSA USING CHIMAYO OR NEW MEXICO CHILES
- ----------------------------------------
-
- 1/2 LB. dried New Mexico chiles (or chimayos if you have access to 'em)
- 2 quarts water
- 6 cloves roasted garlic
- 1/2 to 3/4 tsp salt (more or less to taste)
- 1 TB dried oregano (preferably Mexican), quickly roasted in a flying pan
- (don't burn it)
-
- Seed and stem chiles then in a hot frying pan (cast iron works much
- better), "roast" the chiles for about 3 minutes. If the heat is to hot
- or you do it too long you will burn them and they will become bitter.
- Turn once in a while.
-
- Put water in a pot and add chiles. Simmer about 20 minutes. Remove
- chiles, keeping the water if it doesn't taste bitter (if it does use
- plain water for rest of the recipe).
-
- Put cooled chiles, water, garlic and salt in a blender and puree. Push
- the results through a strainer, keeping the liquid. Add oregano and
- serve warm.
