Servings: persons

1 large ancho chile
2 cups brewed coffee
1/2 cup raisins
1 teaspoon cocoa powder
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup finely diced onion (about 1 medium)
1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic (about 1 medium clove)
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon finely ground coffee
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F. Place chile on baking sheet and place in oven until puffed and aromatic, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Stem and seed chile. Tear into large pieces.
2
Place coffee, chile, and raisins in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from heat and let steep until chile and raisins are very soft, about 20 minutes.
3
Transfer mixture to a blender. Add in cocoa powder and puree until smooth. Set aside.
4
Melt butter in now-empty saucepan over medium heat. When foaming subsides, add in onions; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in coffee puree, vinegar, and Worcestershire. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in ground coffee and season with salt and pepper to taste.
