Red Chili Sauce

Yields16 ServingsPrep Time10 minsCook Time20 mins

This is a basic sauce that can be used to make many Mexican dishes, such as Pozole and Enchiladas. I prefer to use peppers that are not spicy, but that is really up to each person. The taste of this homemade sauce is far superior to the processed sauces that often have chemical ingredients to preserve them.

 5 dried, non-spicy red California chili pods
 3 medium ripe tomatoes
 1 onion split into quarters
 2 cloves garlic
 1 tbsp Vegetarian Seasoning
 salt to taste

Blend all until well combined, adding more water if necessary.
