Steps:
- Remove stems and seeds from dried chile pods. Rinse and place in 4-quart pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let pods steep for 30 minutes.

- Return this pulp to the 4-quart pot and add the salt, oregano, and garlic. Bring to a boil, then simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Taste to adjust seasonings. If the sauce tastes bitter, add the tomato sauce. Simmer for 5 more minutes.

NEW MEXICO RED CHILE SAUCE
Red chile is a staple of the New Mexican and West Texan diet, and this recipe is my grandmother's recipe. When I make it, it reminds me of the smells of her cooking in her kitchen, fresh corn tortillas, beans, and red chile peppers. You can kick up the spiciness by adding more arbol chile pods.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place a baking sheet in the oven until hot. Put on rubber gloves and remove the stems and seeds from the chiles. Pull the baking sheet out of the oven and use tongs to arrange the chiles on it in a single layer. Slide back in the oven and roast until the chiles are fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- 2. Remove from oven and use tongs to transfer the chiles to a heatproof bowl. Add enough boiling water to cover the chiles and allow to sit until cool, 30 to 40 minutes. Transfer the peppers and 3 cups of the soaking liquid to a food processor or blender. Reserve the remaining liquid. Blend or process the chiles until smooth.
- 3. Warm the oil over medium heat. Whisk in the masa harina. Reduce the heat to low and slowly add the pureed chiles, whisking constantly. Slowly whisk in salt to taste. Add additional water, if necessary, to get a thick but pourable consistency. This sauce will keep in a tightly covered glass jar up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen.

Steps:
- Pulse Fresno and habanero chiles, garlic, and 2 Tbsp. salt in a food processor until very finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl; cover and let sit at least 2 hours and up to 12 hours (this will both develop the chile flavor and soften the flesh, resulting in a smooth flavorful sauce when puréed).
- Purée chile mixture and vinegar in a blender until smooth. Season with salt.
- Do Ahead
- Sauce can be made 2 months ahead. Cover and chill.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are less watery than other varieties.
- Roast the tomatoes before making the sauce. This will concentrate their flavor and make them sweeter.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when roasting the tomatoes. They should be in a single layer so that they can roast evenly.
- Use a good quality olive oil. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce.
- Add a little bit of sugar to the sauce to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Let the sauce simmer for at least 30 minutes, or longer for a more flavorful sauce.
- Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta or vegetables.
