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.
