Wow, this'll curl your toes! It was good, very good. I'm so proud I could handle it; the black tutle beans I served it with helped. I recommend adding the chilies to the blender one at a time and tasting between additions. There's no mention of the onion in the instructions so I added it in step one. By the time the blended tomato mixture was added, the onions were nicely carmelized. Yum. This would be great with corn bread, wish I'd thought of that. Next time.
