Spicy Roja

I had just random dried chilies around so I made a spicy roja.

2 lbs of fresh tomatoes

½ of an onion

2 fresh jalapeños

1 red bell pepper

3 cloves of garlic

2 tsp of chicken bouillon powder

Pinch of black pepper

Lime juice to taste

Water for consistency

Dried chilies, I had pasillas, arbols, Thai chili, jalapeños, serranos, an Anaheim, and chile piquin.

A handful of cilantro

Toasted the chilies in a dry skillet, soaked them in hot water for 15 minutes or so. I roughly chopped the tomatoes, fresh jalapeños, bell pepper and onion. In a pot I heated up a bit of olive oil, tossed in the fresh veggies excluding cilantro and cooked down until soft. Threw it all in the blender with the rest of the ingredients and some of the water from the dried chilies. Taste for lime and salt. I only removed the seeds from the pasilla, anaheim and bell.
