The New Mexican dried chiles give this puree its bright red color and the anchos give it a rich, raisiny flavor. You can vary the dried chiles if you want to make different kinds of chili pastes.

Time 45m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 dried ancho chiles
4 dried New Mexico chiles
3 cups chicken stock
½ white onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Make a slit in each of the ancho chiles and New Mexico chiles with a sharp knife, and remove the seeds and stem. Place the chiles in a large saucepan, and add the chicken stock, onion, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the chiles have softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Pour the chile mixture into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the chile mixture right in the cooking pot.

This is your basic Thai curry paste, and it may be frozen, thawed and re-frozen again at least a few times until used. There is no salt in this curry paste, as the shrimp paste is salty enough. I searched for this recipe so I can make a soup here on 'zaar that looks really yum.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chiles: Use a combination of fresh and dried chiles for a complex flavor. Some popular choices include ancho, guajillo, and chipotle chiles. If using fresh chiles, remove the seeds and veins for a less spicy paste.
  • Roast the chiles: Roasting the chiles enhances their flavor and makes them easier to blend. You can roast the chiles in a hot oven or over an open flame. Once roasted, allow them to cool slightly before handling.
  • Soak the dried chiles: If using dried chiles, soak them in hot water for at least 30 minutes before blending. This will soften the chiles and make them easier to blend into a smooth paste.
  • Use a variety of spices: In addition to chiles, you can also add other spices to your chili paste, such as cumin, coriander, garlic, and oregano. Experiment with different combinations of spices to create a flavor profile that you enjoy.
  • Roast the spices: Toasting the spices before adding them to the chili paste will enhance their flavor. You can toast the spices in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant.
  • Blend until smooth: Use a food processor or high-powered blender to blend the chili paste until it is smooth and creamy. You may need to add a little water to help the blending process.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings: Once the chili paste is blended, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more chiles, spices, or salt to taste.
  • Store the chili paste: Chili paste can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the chili paste for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Chili paste is a versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor and heat to a variety of dishes. It is easy to make at home using a few simple ingredients. With a little experimentation, you can create a chili paste that is perfect for your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a way to add some spice to your cooking, give chili paste a try!
