Al Pastor Sauce (vegan) (oil-free) (gluten-free)

Judith Vee

4 dried ancho chiles

1 cup hot water

½ cup pineapple juice

½ tsp onion powder

1 tsp oregano powder

½ tsp cumin powder

½ tsp cilantro powder

½ tsp cinnamon

¼ tsp black pepper

¼ tsp garlic powder

¼ tsp salt

Toast the chiles in a dry pan until they begin to smell fragrant and smoke a little

Soak toasted chiles in 1 cup hot water for 30 minutes

Remove stems from chilies and place all ingredients in blender, including the chile soak water

Blend until very smooth

Use this sauce like you would bbq sauce. My favorite way is to pour it over vegetable (potato, carrot or squash and bake in a covered dish until the veg is soft.
