Directions
The chile powder you find in supermarkets often old and stale, is a
blend of black pepper, cumin, and various herbs and spices. Making your own
is easy and results in a fresher, deeper flavor. Buy whole dried chile
peppers (in book, she gives sources to order from) , remove the stem and
seeds, and wash and dry them thoroughly. (Don't bother to seed them if you
like a hotter powder.) Roast the peppers on a baking sheet in a 35O oven or
toaster oven until you smell them, about 2 to 3 minutes-taking care not to
leave them in too long, which will make them bitter. Then grind them in a
spice or coffee grinder. You can make ancho chile powder or New Mexico
chile powder-the varieties are virtually endlessor combine several chiles
to make a custom blend.
