Mexican adobo sauce is a rich, smoky, and slightly sweet sauce made with dried chilies, vinegar, garlic, oregano, and other spices. It's used to marinate meats, poultry, and fish, or as a flavoring for soups, stews, and rice dishes.
Ingredients:
6 guajillo chilies
3 ancho chilies
4 pasilla chilies
½ cup white vinegar
3 garlic cloves (peeled)
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
½ teaspoon cumin seeds
2 teaspoons dry oregano
3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon table salt
Notes: You can also use a few chipotle en adobo sauce or dried chipotles for extra flavor.
Preparation:
Remove the stem, veins, and seeds from chilies.
Heat a comal or a cast iron skillet over medium-low heat and lightly toast them on both sides.
Add chilies to a large bowl and cover them with hot water. Let them soak for about 15 minutes.
Place all ingredients in a blender (including soaked chilies) and blend for 3-4 minutes or until you'll have a velvety sauce.
Transfer the adobo sauce to a glass container and store or use it right away in your recipe.
