Four hands touch the chile.

Toast. Rehydrate. Blend.
Toast
30–60 seconds per side on a dry comal or skillet, until aromatic. Don't let it smoke — burnt chile turns bitter.
Rehydrate
Cover with hot water and soak 15–20 minutes, until soft and pliable.
Blend
Into moles, salsas, adobos, and braising sauces. Strain for a silk finish.
