The Definitive Red Chile Sauce Recipe!

Excellent basic sauce. Always mix 1 spoon of green powder to my red. Evens out the taste.

Red chile powder is ground from seeded pods, and so it still has the skin on it. Red sauce made from powder is often gritty as a result. I’ve noted improvement in the mouthfeel of the sauce if I allow the powder to soak in the liquid overnight in the refrigerator. It’s especially important to refrigerate if you use stock rather than water in your sauce.

Just wanted to say that this has been my go-to red chile recipe for years. I add a little onion powder and oregano, and I only make it with Chimayo red chile powder. It knocks it out of the park.
