Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 3 large heads garlic
- 3 large dried ancho chilies, rinsed, stemmed, seeded, torn into pieces
- 1/2 cup corn oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F. Separate heads of garlic into individual cloves (do not peel). Pierce each clove once with toothpick. Scatter garlic on baking sheet; roast until tender and beginning to brown, about 25 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Peel garlic, cutting hard tip off each clove.

Add chili mixture, oil, cumin, and honey to garlic in processor. Puree until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 1 week ahead. Cover paste and garlic; chill.)
