Q: Hi Dave,

I love to cook and am just beginning to experiment with chiles.  Today I bought a pack of dried pasillas for a chile recipe I found in my local paper for Roast Pork with Pasilla Adobo Sauce.  In the top portion of the recipe it states, "…and served with a sauce made from the pan drippings,” but the recipe does not tell how to make the sauce.  Is there a recipe for the sauce located somewhere on your website?  I would really like to try this recipe but don’t feel qualified to "wing" it.  Thanks for your help!!

A: Hello Theresa:

All you are doing is making a simple pan gravy.  Remove the fat from the pan drippings.  Mix 1 tablespoon flour in ½ cup cold water.  Heat the pan drippings over medium heat, add the flour/water, and stir well to mix well, scraping any bits off the bottom and side of the pan.  Add more water as necessary to make a gravy, or you may have to add a little more flour/water.  When the consistency is gravy-like, adjust the salt and pepper.  It is optional to strain the gravy before serving.
