Adobo III

Recipe Ingredients

12		Ancho chiles - wiped clean
1 1/2 cups	355ml	White vinegar
2 cups	474ml	Water
1/4 cup	59ml	Olive oil
2 cups	125g / 4.4oz	Onions - thinly sliced (medium)
5		Garlic cloves - sliced
1 tablespoon	15ml	Ground cumin
4 cups	948ml	Chicken stock
2 tablespoons	30ml	Brown sugar
1/4 cup	59ml	Freshly-squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup	59ml	Freshly-squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons	30ml	Tomato paste
1 tablespoon	15ml	Salt
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Freshly-ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions

Toast the chiles directly over a medium gas flame or in a cast-iron skillet until soft and brown, turning frequently to avoid scorching. Transfer the toasted chiles to a saucepan and add the vinegar and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes to soften.

Transfer the chiles and liquid to a blender or food processor. Puree until a smooth paste is formed, adding a tablespoon or two of water if necessary to thin. Set aside.

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onions until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook briefly just to release the aroma. Then stir in the cumin and cook another minute. Add the chicken stock and reserved chile paste. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix together the brown sugar, orange and lemon juices, tomato paste, salt and pepper to form a paste. Add to the simmering stock mixture and continue cooking another 15 minutes. Adobo can be stored in the refrigerator 1 week or frozen indefinitely.
