Open the chiles and shake out some of the seeds. Rinse the pods in hot water and then soak them in boiling water for about ten minutes. Place them in your blender or food processor until mushed and then add the onion and garlic to the blender. Spin this until all combined and place in a saucepan, cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, then remove. Let cool, and then run through a food mill or a sieve, and return to the pot. Add the oregano,crumbled fine, and the cumin, and salt to taste, and cook for another 10 minutes. You will have an enchilado sauce second to none, and far better than the store bought stuff. Hey, I have returned! First recipe for ages!! Cheers, Doug in BC
