Make your own, CHILI

The ingredient:
Dried chile, I just used what I could get from store , chile new mexico.
it is often recommended chile ancho.

Garlic---( 6 cloves match with 6 dried chile)

Cumin---(2 tsp) magical spice, bring up all the flavors Coriander--(1tsp) it is actually cilantro, I think the ground coriander comes from coriander seed, so kinda more intense than dried cilantro leaves. (cilantro is Mexican tag ingredient too :p


Oregno--(1/2tsp) I haven't figure out why it should be here, just remember


Cinnamon--(1/2tsp) Homework too,


Allspice--(1/2tsp) I think it is optional


1. soak chile in boiled water( 3-4 hrs), or boil it on stove top. Make sure it becomes tender, remove seeds and stems

2. put all the ingredients in the food processor, add water that soak chile ( about 1/4 cup or so) if too thick


Now you can see. It is RED, lovely RED,( my cute white bowl got stains :( )

Last time, I made it for Beef chuck chili, which was complemented by Special K as the best chili he ever had. ( He probably forgets he has said that, but I remember :) This time, I am going to use it for marinade my chicken and after overnight. I believe it will be wonderful
