Aantal personen: 4 personen
Ingredienten:
8 medium dried red chile peppers, 3 cloves garlic, peeled and roughly chopped, 1/2 medium onion, roughly chopped, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp cumin seed (or a generous 1/2 tsp ground) 1 1/2 tbs lard or vegetable oil, 2 pound stewing beef, cut in cubes.
Voorbereiding:
Heat heavy skillet over medium heat and tear chilies into flat pieces. toast on hot surface, presing down firmly with metal spatula, until they crackle and change color. flip over and press down a few seconds more. cover with boiling water, weight down with a plate, soak for 30 mins., then drain and reserve 1 cup of soaking liquid.
Bereidingswijze:
Transfer chilies and liquid to blender. add garlic, onion and oregano. pulverize cumin seeds in mortar and add to chile mixture. blend untill smooth. Heat lard or oil in large skillet on medium high. fry meat until nicely browned, about 10 mins. add the chile puree, continue to fry for 4 or 5 mins, stirring and scraping the bottom frequently, until the puree is very thick and noticeably darker. scrape the mixture into a medium size saucepan, stir in salt and 2 cups of water(or 1 1/2 cup beef broth and 1/2 cup beer) simmer partially covered until meat is tender. just before serving stir in 2 tablespoons masa harina and let simmer until thickened. (if the stew is too dry, add a little water or broth) masa harina is a corn flour which gives this chile a distinct taste. i guess if not available you could use regular flour.
