Ingredients
Instructions
-
Begin by preparing the red chiles. Remove the stems and seeds from the chiles, then place them in a bowl. Cover the chiles with hot water and let them soak for about 15-20 minutes until they are soft.
-
In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn them. Remove from heat and let them cool.
-
Once the chiles are softened, drain them and place them in a blender or food processor. Add the toasted cumin seeds, minced garlic, dried oregano, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil.
-
Blend the mixture until smooth, adding a little water if needed to achieve a pourable consistency. You want the texture to be smooth and free of lumps.
-
Season the Red Chile Wash with salt and pepper to taste. Give it a final blend to ensure everything is well combined.
-
Transfer the Red Chile Wash to a clean jar or airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
