Fergie’s Famous Red Enchilada Sauce

I really think that if I was asked what I’m most known for it is my Enchiladas! There has never been a time when anyone in my family has been disappointed because I made them. The beauty of having a good enchilada sauce recipe and or already made sauce is that you can whip up a great tasting meal in no time. Enchiladas, chilaquiles, braised pork or chicken in red sauce, pozole… I mean my goodness the possibilities! This batch makes about 1 ½ to 2 quarts worth of sauce and it freezes beautifully !

Prep Time 35 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Total Time 40 minutes
Servings 2 quarts

Ingredients
  

  • 20 dry California or New Mexico Chile stems removed
  • 6 cups water
  • ½ onion
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or any neutral tasting oil

Instructions
 

  • Bring the 6 cups of water to a boil. Remove from heat. 
  • Add the dried chiles making sure the chiles are submerged under water, I use a small plate to weigh them down.  Allow for the chiles to reconstitute which takes 30-60 minutes.  You can also do this in the evening and allow for the chiles to sit over night.  
  • Once your chiles are nice and soft (see picture above) strain the water and discard. 
  • Place the strained chiles, onion, garlic, broth, sea salt, oregano and oil in the blender.  Preferably a high power blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec. 
  • Blend for 1 ½ minutes on high until nice and smooth. 
  • Place in saucepan and bring to a boil. Once the sauce boils reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  • Will keep in refrigerator for 1 week or you can freeze.
