  2. Sautee chopped onion in olive oil until golden in a saucepan
  3. Add roasted garlic cloves to onions, mix well, and sautee another 2 minutes
  4. Seed and stem the chilis and remove from water. Set aside the soaking liquid for later use.
  5. Chop ancho chilies into small pieces
  6. Add chopped ancho and whole chipotle and morita chilis to the onions and garlic. Sautee another 5 minutes.
  7. Combine tomato paste with 8oz water and add to onions, garlic, and chilies.

  18. Lightly grease a 9" square baking dish
  19. Spread a 1/2 inch layer of polenta on the bottom of the baking dish
  20. Remove and discard morita and chipotle chilis, then spread a 1 inch layer of chili on top of the polenta
