📝 Preparation Steps
1
Use a pair of scissors to cut the stem off the chile. Cut it open lengthwise and remove the seeds.
2
Heat a cast iron skillet and place the garlic cloves (in their paper) near the edge. Press the chiles so they lay flat into the skillet. Working in batches, toast for ⏱️ 30 seconds or less per side. (Let the garlic continue to roast while you finish toasting the chiles).

Heat a saucepan over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the chile sauce from the blender and simmer for a minute or two. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more honey (or sugar) to cut down any bitterness.
