You might not think sauces made from dried pepper pods could achieve flavors that transcend fresh pepper sauces, but dried peppers achieve a quality you can’t get with fresh peppers. I wouldn’t argue that one is superior to the other, but for me, both are essential in building big, bold flavors. It all depends on the dish. I believe food should speak, and speak LOUDLY. This sauce surely does. Your taste buds will hear this one! Blend the ingredients together. Heat the oil in a pan to medium heat and cook down the onion, garlic, and tomato, then add them to the food processor along with the vinegar, cumin, oregano and a bit of salt and pepper along with about 1 cup of the soaking liquid. Process until it smooths out. Do a taste test. You can adjust with salt and pepper and this point, and if you feel it needs a touch of sweetness, add the honey and process a bit more. Strain the sauce. Press the sauce through a coarse strainer into a bowl. Truly, amazing. If you’d like a creamier version, add crema our sour cream. So, so good. I hope you love it as much as I do! Enjoy!
