This is my favorite rich and delicious mexican, red sauce that can be used to make Pozole, Mole, or is great the way it is on tacos or topped on eggs etc. Break-open and shake out the majority of seeds from 4-6 dried Ancho Chilies

Place in a blender or food processor
the softened pieces and some of the water
a tablespoon of chopped garlic
2-3 tablespoons oil (I use olive oil)
1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Blend well, eventually adding all the water,
Adjust salt and sugar for taste, and serve or store in the refrigerator
