      Title: Adobo De Chile Passila
 Categories: Sauces, Chilies, Vegetables, Herbs
      Yield: 1 Recipe

      1 sm Garlic head; separated into
           Cloves, unpeeled
     12 lg Dried Pasilla chilies
      2 ts Dried Mexican oregano
    1/2 ts Fresh ground black pepper
    1/4 ts Freshly ground cumin seed
    3/4 ts Salt

  THE GARLIC AND THE CHILES. Set a heavy ungreased skillet
  or griddle over medium heat. Lay the unpeeled garlic on
  the hot surface and let it roast to a sweet mellowness,
  turning occasionally, until soft when pressed between your
  fingers (you'll notice it has blackened in a few small
  spots), about 15 minutes. cool, then slip off the papery
  skins and roughly chop.

  While the garlic is roasting, break the stems off the
  chilies, tear the chilies open and shake nd/or pick out
  all the seeds; for themildest sauce, be careful to remove
  all the stringy, light-colored veins. Next toast the
  chilies (to give them a richer flavor) a few at a time on
  your mediium-hot skillet or griddle; Open them flat, lay
  them on the hot 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 that will mean burnt chilies
  and bitter taste) Now, press down again to toast the other
  side (you won't notice as much change in color on the skin
  side). Transfer the toasted chilies to a bowl, cover with
  hot water and let rehydrate for 30 minutes, stirring
  regularly to ensure even soaking. pour off the water,
  reserving about 2/3 cup.

  THE PUREE. If you're using whole spices, pulverize the
  oregano with the pepper and cumin in a mortar or spice
  grinder, then transfer the ground spices to a food
  processor or blender, along with the drained chilies, 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 mixture
  won't move through the blades, add water a little at a
  time until 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 more, it can be
  successfully frozen.

  OTHER CHILES YOU CAN USE - While this recipe looks similar
  to that for ancho, the fact that 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 THAT USE THIS ESSENTIAL AS A STARTING
  POINT - Spicy Pasilla-Mushroom Tacos, Layered Pasilla
  Tortilla Casserole, Seared Lamb in Swarthy Pasilla-Honey
  Sauce
