Pick cilantro leaves from the stems, set leaves aside for serving, and finely chop stems. Peel and halve onions, peel and roughly chop garlic, and quarter tomatoes. If needed, soak dried chili in hot water. Heat olive oil in a large pan. Add onion halves and sear on both sides until browned. Then add garlic, cilantro stems, and cumin and briefly sauté. Stir in tomato paste and toast for a moment. Add tomatoes and chili and let simmer for approx. 10–15 min. Transfer everything to a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of sugar.
