3 whole, dried Tio Pablo ancho chilis
3 whole dried Tio Pablo pasilla chilis
4 cloves garlic, unpeeled
4 La Morena Chilpotles in adobo sauce, plus extra, chopped, to top

Directions:
Place the dried ancho and pasilla chilis with the garlic into a bowl of boiled water and let sit for at least 5 minutes, until soft. Remove from water and discard chili stems.
In a blender, purée the chilis, garlic, chilpotle, onion, pineapple, oil, honey, vinegar, salt and oregano. Add the stock and purée until smooth.
