Basic Adobo Sauce

1. 1

   Heat a comal, griddle, or heavy skillet over medium-low heat, and toast the chiles 2 or 3 at a time, turning them over and pressing down on them with tongs frequently, until theyre fragrant and their insides have changed color slightly, about 1 minute per batch.

2. 2

   Soak the chiles in enough cold water to cover until theyre soft, about 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Drain and discard the soaking water.

4. 4

   Put the 3/4 cup of fresh water in the blender jar with the chiles and the remaining ingredients.

5. 5

   Blend until smooth, at least 3 minutes, adding a little more water if necessary to puree.

6. 6

   If youd like a silky texture, strain the adobo through a medium-mesh sieve.
