Sauce - Chipotle in Adobe 200gm (Mexico)

A popular ingredient to infuse smoky Mexican flavours into your dishes.

Fresh Jalapeno chillies are smoked to become Chipotle peppers or chillis. They have a distinctive fruity flavour and smoky aroma. These chillis are then rehydrated in a sweet and tangy tomato sauce with the addition of  vinegar, garlic, and other spices. The sauce has balance and body and does have some heat that can be tamed with dairy, or used in double quantities depending on your personal heat threshold.

Use what you need, blend the rest and freeze in ice cube tray. Release from tray once hard and store in snap lock bag to use when you need to add a bit of pizzaz to your south American or Mexican cooking.
