• 1/4 cup flour

1. Toast chiles in a 5- to 6-qt. pan over medium heat, pressing down with a wide spatula and turning once, until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

3. Heat mixture to boiling, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 1 hour to blend flavors. Discard giblet packet.
