Serves: 1 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Chipotle - chilies en adobo
2 tablespoons 30mlCorn oil
3 tablespoons 45mlGarlic cloves (large)
2 teaspoons 10mlGround coriander
1 teaspoon 5mlThyme
1 teaspoon 5mlFreshly ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

(pasta de chipotle) In a food processor, combine all the ingredients and process until blended but still slightly chunky, about 1 minute. The paste can refrigerated, tightly covered, for up to 3 weeks.

Building Block: By blending canned chipotle chilies in adobo with a few additional ingredients, you have a nearly effortless recipe for a versatile, spicy seasoning paste.

Uses: Brush the paste on beef and pork roasts, baby back ribs, chicken or shellfish. Mix with sour cream or mayonnaise to accompany grilled meat, poached chicken or baked potatoes. Add to a vinaigrette from raw or steamed vegetables. Stir into chicken stock along with shredded cooked chicken, chickpeas and avocado cubes to make a zingy soup or into shrimp or lobster stock with assorted seafood. Mix into a simple tomato sauce to go with pasta, meatballs, sauteed shrimp or squid, or use as the base for a stew.
