Ancho Sauce
To make about 2 cups
12 dried ancho chilies (caution: see note)
2 cups boiling water
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon crumbled dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

   Under cold running water, pull the stems off the ancho chilies, tear them in half and brush out their seeds. Tear the chilies into pieces, place them in a bowl and pour in the boiling water. The water should cover the chilies by at least 1 inch; if necessary, add more boiling water. Let the chilies soak for about 1 hour, then drain the soaking liquid into a bowl and reserve it. Force the chilies through a food mill set over a small heavy saucepan or rub them through a fine sieve with the back of a spoon.

   Pour 1 1/2 cups of the reserved soaking liquid into the chilies and mix well. Add the tomato paste, garlic, oregano, cumin, sugar and salt and, stirring constantly, bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and, stirring occasionally, simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until the sauce thickens enough to hold its shape lightly in a spoon. Taste for seasoning. Serve the sauce with tortillas, tacos or tostadas. Or transfer the sauce to a bowl, cool it to room temperature. Covered tightly and refrigerated, the sauce can safely be kept for about a week. Reheat it briefly before serving.
