Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 ancho chiles (as flexible as possible)
1 medium white onion, in slices
1/2 cup orange juice
1 cup white vinegar
1/2 cooking oil, corn or safflower
1 pound piloncillo or dark brown sugar
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Wipe the dried chiles clean and carefully cut a slit lengthwise. Shake out the seeds and carefully tear out any of the obvious interior ribs. Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and fry the chilies briefly until they begin to puff and color slightly. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  • In the same skillet, fry the sliced onion until it has colored. In another pot, bring to a boil the orange juice, vinegar, sugar (piloncillo is the coarse brown Mexican sugar that can often be found in truncated cone form), salt and pepper; cook briefly at a lower temperature then remove from the burner.
  • Add the chiles and drained onions to this sweet-sour marinade, making sure they are all submerged, and let macerate, preferably overnight. Remove and drain the chiles, reserving the marinade.
  • The drained chiles may then be filled with a variety of ingredients: freshly made guacamole; potato salad; tuna salad; etc. They may be presented atop a bed of lettuce, topped with crumbled farmer's cheese and drizzled with a little of the reserved marinade, if desired.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The chiles were tough and the filling was bland.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The ancho chiles were a bit too smoky for my taste.

I had a hard time finding ancho chiles, but I was able to substitute another type of chile and the dish still turned out great.
