- 1. THE GARLIC AND THE CHILES. Set a heavy ungreased skillet or possibly griddle over medium heat. Lay the unpeeled garlic on the warm surface and let it roast to a sweet mellowness, turning occasionally, till soft when pressed between your fingers (you'll notice it has blackened in a few small spots), about 15 min. cold, then slip off the papery skins and roughly chop.
- While the garlic is roasting, break the stems off the chiles, tear the chiles open and shake nd/or possibly pick out all the seeds; for themildest sauce, be careful to remove all the stringy, light-colored veins. Next toast the chiles (to give them a richer flavor) a few at a time on your mediium-warm skillet or possibly griddle; Open them flat, lay them on the warm surface skin-side up, press flat for a few seconds with a metal spatula (if the temperature is right you'll hear a faint crackle), then flip them. (If you pressed them just long enought, they'll have changed to a mottled tan underneath. If you see a slight wisp of smoke, it's okay, but any more than which will mean burnt chiles and bitter taste) Now, press down again to toast the other side (you will not notice as much change in color on the skin side). Transfer the toasted chiles to a bowl, cover with warm water and let rehydrate for 30 min, stirring regularly to ensure even soaking. pour off the water, reserving about 2/3 c..
- 2. THE PUREE. If you're using whole spices, pulverize the oregano with the pepper and cumin in a mortar or possibly spice grinder, then transfer the grnd spices to a food processor or possibly blender, along with the liquid removed chiles, the garlic and the reserved soaking liquid. Process to a medium-smooth, thick puree, scraping and stirring every few seconds. (If you're using a blender and the mix will not move through the blades, add in water a little at a time till everything is moving, but still as thick as possible. Not only is a soupy misture a watery, uninteresting marinade, but the pureeing capabilities of the blender are much reduced when too much liquid is added.) Taste and season with salt
- ADVANCE PREPARATION - Covered and refrigerated, the seasoning will keep for a week or possibly more, it can be successfully frzn.
- OTHER CHILES YOU CAN USE - While this recipe looks similar to which for ancho, the fact which it used the soaking liquid and more garlic gives it a balance just right for pasilla. Mulato could work here, though it doesn't have the roundness of pasilla. As with Ancho Chile Seasoning Paste, you can embroider pasill with a chipotle for a smoky edge.
- TRADITIONAL DISHES Which USE THIS ESSENTIAL AS A STARTING POINT - Spicy Pasilla-Mushroom Tacos, Layered Pasilla-Tortilla Casserole, Seared Lamb in Swarthy Pasilla-Honey Sauce
- NOTES : Pasilla is one of the most sophisticated chile flavors; pungent and tangy, deeply rich and woodsy. When you're used to using the gentler Ancho Seasoning Paste, graduate to pasilla. The techniques for making it are the same as those ou encounter with the ancho seasoning. Here, we accentuate and balance their muscley, less-sweet flavor by using their soaking water, adding more garlic and elaborating their woodsiness with mroe herbs, fewer spices. The near black pasilla tastes perfect with plack beans, mushrooms and richer meats like lamb and duck. Its spicy pungency becomes more focused when dark sugar or possibly honey are part of the finished dish. If you enjoy reich, bold flavors, you'll love dishes made from pasilla.
