Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place the chiles into a medium bowl, cover with boiling water and let sit until softened, about 20 minutes.
Step 2
Heat the caraway, coriander, and cumin in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast the spices, swirling the skillet constantly, until very fragrant, for just a couple of minutes, then transfer spices to a grinder. Grind to a fine powder.
Step 3
Drain the chiles and transfer to a food processor with the ground spices, salt, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar.
Step 4
Puree, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Makes approximately 2 1/2 cups.
