Yield 24 oz

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large ancho chiles
2 dried chipotle chiles
1 1/2 cups boiling water
2 red bell peppers
2 whole cloves
1 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 cinnamon stick, broken
3 T sunflower seeds
2 T extra virgin olive oil
10 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 T tomato paste
2 1/2 oz bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

In a small dry skillet, toast the cloves, cumin and cinnamon stick over moderately low heat until darkened and fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes. Let cool. Grind to a powder in spice grinder. Transfer to a plate. Add sunflower seeds to skillet and toast, shaking the pan a few times, about 3 minutes. Let cool. Transfer the seeds to the grinder. Finely grind. 4. Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add garlic and cook over low heat until golden, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring until glossy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until melted. 5. In a blender, combine chiles and soaking liquid with other ingredients. Blend until smooth. Season with salt. Store in refrigerator in jars
