Step by Step guide
Step 1
Remove the seeds and membranes from the chili pepper, and cut into 2.5 cm pieces. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the pepper and roast, stirring occasionally, without oil until smoking, about 5–6 minutes. Add 480 ml of water and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let steep for 20 minutes until soft. Drain the water.
Step 2
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the cumin seeds for 3–4 minutes until darkened and fragrant. Let cool. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté, stirring frequently, for about 8 minutes until golden. Add the garlic, oregano, and ground cumin. Add the chili and 120 ml of broth, and season with salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes. Add another 120 ml of broth.
Step 4
Blend the sauce in a blender until smooth. Add the vinegar and sugar. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5
Can be made in advance: The sauce can be prepared up to 1 week before use. Cover and refrigerate.
