1
Prepare the Chilies
Remove the stems and seeds from the dried red chilies and rinse them under cold water.
2
Soak the Chilies
Place the cleaned chilies in a bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for about 20 minutes until they soften.
3
Sauté Aromatics
In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
4
Blend the Sauce
Drain the soaked chilies and add them to the saucepan along with the broth, salt, cumin, and oregano. Blend everything using an immersion blender until smooth. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, blend to your desired consistency.
5
Simmer
Return the blended sauce to the saucepan and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6
Adjust Seasoning
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning with more salt if needed.
