RED CHILI PASTE
To make about 2 cups
1 cup tightly packed dried hontaka chilies
2 cups boiling water
6 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup boiling beef or chicken stock, fresh, or canned, or boiling water

   NOTE: Before using hot chilies, read the instructions on page 2.

   Break the dried chilies in half and brush out the seeds. Place the chilies in a bowl, pour 2 cups of boiling water over them, and let them soak for 2 hours. Drain the chilies and discard the soaking water. Combine the chilies, oil, garlic, salt and boiling stock or water in the jar of a blender and purée at high speed for 1 minute, or until the mixture is reduced to a smooth purée. Scrape into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. (To make the paste by hand. purée the chilies and garlic in a food mill set over a bowl. Discard any pulp left in the mill. A few tablespoons at a time beat the boiling stock or water into the purée, and then stir in the salt and oil, a tablespoon at a time.) Chili paste can be used as a substitute for fresh hot chilies in many South American dishes. It will keep successfully for 2 to 3 weeks if it is tightly covered and refrigerated.
