  1. Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add chiles, remove from heat and let sit for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove stems and seeds (keep seeds in for more heat), place in food processor with 1/4 cup of the soaking liquid and puree until smooth.
  3. Heat oil in a pot and on a low heat cook onion until soft.
  4. Add garlic and fry briefly until fragrant.
  5. Add remaining ingredients and the puree to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes.
  6. The onion can also be carmelized to make a sweeter sauce. That will add aboout 30 more minutes to the cooking time.
