Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion - peeled and chopped
4 large cloves garlic - chopped
2 guajillo chilis - seeded and chopped
5 smoked cherry peppers - seeded and chopped
1 28 oz can San Marzano tomatoes
1/2 cup chicken stock
1 teaspoon cumin
1 large loose handful fresh oregano leaves (or a couple TBS dried if you can't get fresh)
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1

Saute the onion with a pinch of salt over medium heat until it starts to sweat, then add the garlic and chilis and saute a few more minutes until everything is a little soft.
2

Add the tomatoes (with their juice), broth and cumin and simmer for 9-10 minutes until the chilis are very soft (also add the oregano if using dried).
3

Turn off the heat and add the oregano (if using fresh). Use an immersion blender or transfer to a regular blender and mix the sauce - it is not going to be silky smooth but rather maintain a bit of texture. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. That's it! Done!
