How to make it

  • In a saucepan, brown the onion and garlic in the oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the almonds, sesame seeds, ancho and spices. Sauté for about 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer gently, uncovered, about 20 minutes. Season with salt. In a blender, purée until smooth. Adjust the seasoning.
  • For a more intensely flavoured sauce, use whole coriander, cumin and cloves. Toast the whole spices in a skillet over high heat, then grind them in a coffee grinder or mortar.
  • Note: Anchos are dried poblano peppers, a medium-hot variety frequently used in Mexican dishes. You can find them at most Latin American groceries.
