RED CHILE SAUCE II

3 tablespoons olive oil or lard

1 clove garlic, minced

½ cup New Mexico chile powder

2 tablespoons flour

2 cups water

salt to taste

Saute the garlic in oil. Blend in flour and chile powder quickly with a wooden spoon. (Be careful not to burn the chile.) Blend in water and cook to desired consistency, adding more water as desired. If you have stock instead of water, so much the better. Add salt to taste.
